Rely on Rose for quick follow up

TODAY’s Galway Plate is a cracking contest, which is going to severely test the skills of punters.

I could make a case for a dozen runners, that’s how open a contest I feel it is. I partner Hoo La Baloo for Paul Nicholls and must confess to being far more hopeful than confident he will prove capable of winning.

I went across to England recently to ride him at Market Rasen and he ran well to be beaten into second by Iron Man. I’m as sure as I can be that he will at least beat Iron Man now, over this stiffer track and with a 9lbs pull.
