Out Now has been the one for money this morning and is now disputing favourtism for this afternoon's Galway Plate.

Edward O'Grady 's charge opened up an 8/1 chance but has been cut into as low as 5/1 for the day three feature event. Blackstairmountain remains a steady 6/1 shot to give Willie Mullins back-to-back successes.

There are three out of the Plate with Finger Onthe Pulse (ran yesterday), Torphichen and Daffern Seal not taking part. Ted Veale is strong in the opening maiden hurdle, having been backed from 9/4 into 13/8 favourite.

Monday's winner Kalellshan has been ruled out of the two-and-a-half mile handicap hurdle and Beau Michael is now trading as 4/1 favourite there.

Moonbi Creek, who disappointed yesterday, and Xsquared are significant non-runners in the 50-70 mile handicap. Toufan Express and Fit The Cove now dispute favourtism in that contest.

There are 23 non-runners on the card so far.
