Ballyhaunis the percentage bet in Plate

HER Majesty’s Plate, over a mile and five furlongs, is easily the best contest on the programme at Down Royal this evening.

Willie Mullins’ Ballyhaunis is put forward as the most likely winner and this lightly-raced sort is a hopeful nap choice.

He made his debut at the Curragh on Irish Derby weekend, when half a length second behind Superius in a 24-runner maiden. The Daylami colt then returned to headquarters just over two weeks later and made no mistake, cruising to a three lengths success.
