Verdict

Gavin Cromwell's PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS took a 5 lb rise for his excellent Punchestown second but still looks ahead of his mark and edges the vote in this ultra competitive Galway Plate. The progressive Let's Go Champ rates the pick of Henry de Bromhead's quartet and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Willie Mullins' duo Mister Policeman and Authorized Art as well as last year's victor Ash Tree Meadow. Punchestown scorer Pinkerton completes the shortlist.

  1. PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS (FR)
  2. LETS GO CHAMP (IRE)
  3. MISTER POLICEMAN (FR)
