Balnaslow can produce a big run in Plate

Willie Mullins’ Balnaslow is a hopeful choice in the Tote sponsored Galway Plate at Ballybrit this afternoon.

He will be partnered by Jonathan Burke, who only recently joined the professional ranks, and what a boost it would be to a fledgling career if he was to land a massive prize such as this.

The selection, arguably, is well handicapped, but that’s because he has always been a bit hit-and-miss and is certainly not the most reliable horse in training.
