Day three in Ballybrit is Tote.ie Galway Plate day and Perceval Legallois can give the excellent Gavin Cromwell a first win in the race. The JP McManus-owned seven-year-old was a useful hurdler but has looked much better over fences despite just five outings to date over the larger obstacles.
In October, he won his beginners’ chase at this venue but fell next time out. Grade One company proved too much too soon when well beaten in the Drinmore, but he was almost back on track when contesting a deeply competitive Grade Three handicap chase at the Dublin Racing Festival. Brought with a challenge going to the last, he was still travelling quite strongly until falling at the obstacle, leaving the smart Heart Wood to go on to victory.
