Road To Riches heads Plate list Road To Riches is 9lb clear at the head of the weights at the latest forfeit stage for TheTote.com Galway Plate. Noel Meade's class act won the race two years ago before proving himself as a chaser right out of the top drawer. There were two notable omissions, both owned by JP McManus. The Charles Byrnes-trained Shanpallas and Tom George's Cernunnos, the horse on which Barry Geraghty broke his arm in a fall last week. Willie Mullins has left in Alelchi Inois, Devils Bride and Ballycasey. Dermot Weld has an interesting contender in the shape of Three Kingdoms, a classy novice when trained by John Ferguson. Gordon Elliott is going all out for a first win in the race and has Clarcam, Bright New Dawn, Lord Scoundrel, Tiger Roll, Killer Crow, Shadow Catcher, Realt Mor, Balnaslow, Unic De Bersey, Wrath Of Titans, Nickname Exit and Altiepix among the 36 remaining possibles. Henry de Bromhead has left in last year's winner Shanahan's Turn along with Sadler's Risk, Home Farm, Sizing Platinum and The King Of Brega. The only British interest comes from Emma Lavelle's Junction Fourteen and Jonjo O'Neill's It's A Gimme. Mouse Morris' veteran First Lieutenant is still in the mix along with Shantou Flyer and Joseph O'Brien's Carriganog.
