Weld delighted with Ansar ahead of another Plate tilt

ANSAR is in “terrific form” as he prepares to bid for a third victory in the William Hill Galway Plate, for which he has been allotted joint top-weight.

The popular 11-year-old already has an incredible seven wins at the Festival to his name, and trainer Dermot Weld is hoping a pipe-opener on the level will put him spot on for the big race.

“Ansar is in terrific form at the moment and like ourselves, he’ll be looking forward to his annual visit to Galway.” said Weld.
