Can Nurburgring Repeat Galway Glory Next Week?

Racing experts have backed Nurburgring to create history by becoming just the second horse to win both the Galway Plate and Galway Hurdle.

Last year’s Galway Hurdle winner is the market leader for next week’s Galway Plate where he will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Ansar who won the Hurdle in 2001 and the Plate four years later.

Nurburgring, who won the Lee Strand Novice Chase at Killarney last week, has subsequently shortened into favourite ahead of the Galway Plate.

Recent Victory Boosts Confidence

"It was hard to believe Nurburgring is just breaking his maiden over fences. I suppose maybe thinking back to the Cheltenham Festival, people thought he might have been getting plotted out for that, but he got off the mark and goes to the Plate," said racing expert Emma Nagle on irishracing.com’s The Irish Angle podcast this week.

“He’s a horse that obviously loves Galway. He got a bit of a freebie from the start last year but you can’t beat Galway form going into the Galway Festival.”

Jesse Evans A Tough Path Ahead

Jesse Evans is also among the 32 entrants for the Galway Plate which takes place on day three of next week’s Festival.

The nine-year-old has finished second in three previous Galway Hurdles and finished eighth in the race last year.

Speaking on The Irish Angle, Johnny Ward questioned whether Jesse Evans will be able to break their Festival duck next week.

“I was sweet on Jesse Evans with a view to the Plate. You absolutely need horses with a bit in hand that are lightly raced.

“I got the impression from Noel Meade, he's just not confident he gets the trip. With Noel winning the race last year, he’s not lost his ability to win at Galway, but you can't really back a horse whose trainer doesn't have faith in him getting the trip in a Galway Plate."

Formscan By Donal Murphy- Starting off in handicap company, DOWN MEMORY LANE could prove a class above his rivals. This race has probably been the target for quite some time, with the step-up in trip likely to play to his strengths. The selection is one of seven Gordon Elliott-trained representatives in the line-up, with his Three Card Brag another leading hope. The winner of the Galway Hurdle 12-months ago, it's easy to see why Nurburgring is the current market leader. The versatile five-year-old recently made the breakthrough over fences at Killarney and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow-up now. With Derek O'Connor an interesting jockey booking, Anyway warrants the utmost respect, while a case can be made for many others. Mayo National winner Western Fold, Midlands National hero Amirite, high class hurdler Buddy One and the Emmet Mullins-trained Sea Music are a few others for the shortlist in what is a typically competitive renewal of this summer highlight.

An extended handicap steeplechase for four years old and upwards that have run at least four times in steeplechases up to and including 20th July 2025
Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase or steeplechases after calculation of the handicap shall carry any penalty or penalties which may be allotted by the Handicapper.
