Letter Of Credit has Galway Plate target Jimmy Mangan is hoping for rain next month to give Letter Of Credit his chance of big-race success in the tote.com Galway Plate on July 29. Mangan lifted the valuable handicap chase with Stroll Home in 1997 and would like to run Letter Of Credit in the Ballybrit feature, but there would have to be some ease in the ground. "He's doing well. He's in training and he may go for the Galway Plate if the ground comes up anywhere on the soft side," said Mangan, who saddled Monty's Pass to win the Grand National at Aintree in 2003. "He likes cut in the ground and the syndicate that own him are from Galway and they'd love to have a runner there. "The ground is very hard here at the moment and I wouldn't be able to run him." Letter Of Credit was the outsider of four when successful from Baily Green at Killarney last month, having run creditably on his previous start when third to On His Own in the Imperial Call Chase at Cork.
