While the eyes of British fans will be fixed on Glorious Goodwood next week, Irish eyes look towards Galway, as their popular summer Festival gets underway on Monday. The feature race during this seven-day meeting is the Galway Plate, a handicap chase that has been won by legends like Tipperary Boy and Derrinstown during its 150-year history.
Let's take a look through the latest Galway Plate betting and run through the headline entries.
Joseph O'Brien won this race for the first time with Early Doors in 2020 and two of his top novice chasers from last year, Fire Attack and Busselton currently top the Galway Plate betting with Paddy Power.
Willie Mullins, who won just his second Galway Plate 12 months ago, could be represented by El Barra, Fan De Blues and Easy Game. Gordon Elliott, himself a three-time winner of this historic race, has eight runners entered up, including Ashtree Meadow and Hurricane Georgie.
