2011 Galway Plate Odds: Bahrain Favourite to Storm to Victory at Ballybrit

After managing to get into the race, Bahrain Storm looks likely to go off as the firm favourite to win the Galway Festival feature, the Galway Plate on Wednesday. Trained by Pat Flynn, the eight year old has odds currently of 5/1 with Paddy Power who like his trainer do not expect his lack of experience in chases to have any significant bearing on his performance. The eight year old won the Galway Hurdle at the Festival back in 2009 and his win at Killarney a fortnight ago earned him his entry for this. He comes into the race on a good mark, in good form from a yard who are more than bullish about his prospects and following a number of good performances on the Ballybrit track

Next in the betting with odds of around 8/1 is the Dermot Weld trained, Majestic Concorde, who was third last year behind Finger On The Pulse. Weld, whose name is synonymous with the Galway Festival has made it clear that this year he is going for quality wins rather than quantity and includes the ‘Plate’ as his principle target. Last seen unseating his rider at the Canal Turn in the Aintree Grand National in April, the eight year old will be nice and fresh for his attempt where although he is carrying 11-4 he should have sufficient class to run a big race.
