Stewart hoping for Plate prize

Leading owner Andy Stewart believes Oslot deserves his place at the head of the market for next week's William Hill Galway Plate.

Leading owner Andy Stewart believes Oslot deserves his place at the head of the market for next week's William Hill Galway Plate.

The Paul Nicholls-trained six-year-old, as short as 5-1 with a number of firms, has won four of his five starts over fences and was last seen landing a Newton Abbot novice chase by eight lengths.

With Irish champion jockey Ruby Walsh set to be in the plate on Wednesday, Stewart, who will also be represented by top-weight Hoo La Baloo, thinks Oslot will take all the beating.

"With Hoo La Baloo on 11st 12lb and Oslot on just 10st 13lb, I think he really deserves to be the favourite and he obviously has Ruby Walsh on board," he told At The Races.
