FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Five of these ran in the Galway Plate on Wednesday, with Livelovelaugh faring best in sixth. The Storyteller, who is the highest rated runner in the line-up, was pulled up early in the Plate, with his rider Davy Russell later reporting to the Stewards that his mount made mistakes at the first three fences. MENGLI KHAN is coming into this race fresher than most of his rivals and with Davy Russell booked to ride, he looks the one to side with. Ninth in the Galway Plate twelve months ago, he recorded a confidence boosting success over flights at Kilbeggan earlier this month and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow-up now. The aforementioned Livelovelaugh ran a fine race here on Wednesday and he is given second preference, while Blazer, who was seventh in the Plate, is another leading contender.
