Gordon Elliott wins Galway Plate

Saddling 7 of the runners he had the odds in his favour: the question was which one?

And the answer is Western Fold 11/1 with Danny Gilligan riding. Jesse Evans 9/1 was second and one of the winner's stablemates Shecoulbeanything 33/1 was third.

The Elliott-Gilligan combination has a chance to do it again in the Galway Hurdle on Thursday with Bwensonfire 11/1 although a stablemate Ndaawi, who was second in this race last year, is popular on 5/1 and has Jack Kennedy on board. Putyourhandstogether is current favourite on 10/3 for Joseph O'Brien and Mark Walsh. We have a bit of a roughie here in Enniskerry 12/1.
