Today's tips: Road To Riches can shrug off weight burden at Galway

Two years ago, running off a mark of 149 and carrying 10-11, Road To Riches turned the Galway Plate into a procession. Twenty-four months on, despite having to lumber top weight of 11-10 and run off a mark of 162, a repeat can be expected.

That unforgettable performance – his last in a handicap - was just the beginning, as he went on to Grade 1 glory in the Lexus Chase of that season, before finishing third behind Coneygree in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Last season didn’t quite go to plan, with the Clonmel Oil Chase his sole success. However, he ran a huge race in defeat behind Vautour in the Ryanair Chase, and was still heavily involved until falling at the second-last in the Punchestown Gold Cup.
