Mullins sets sights on Galway Plate repeat

Champion trainer Willie Mullins is anticipating a strong challenge on the feature races at Galway this week.

Mullins, who has two runners, Drive On Regardles and Earls Quarter on the opening evening, is responsible for Blackstairmountain, the ante-post favourite for the www.thetote.com Galway Plate on Wednesday.

The latter could be joined by last year’s winner Blazing Tempo, although she is also in Thursday’s Guinness Galway Hurdle alongside Drive Time and Rattan.
