Ansar's Galway Plate Prospects
Last week Dermot Weld told 'The Irish Field': "Ansar went to Ballinrobe on Monday for his usual pre-Galway prep and he is in great shape. He is an amazing horse around Ballybrit, winning there on seven occasions, including the Galway Hurdle and two Galway Plates. I am well aware that he hasn't won since 2005 and that he is now a 12-year-old. Yet he is full of enthusiasm and I have been impressed with his two runs on the flat.
He is a very sound horse, he is very fresh and he is very well. With 11 stone on his back, he has been given a great chance by the handicapper. I know it is a big ask but I'm expecting a huge run from him on Wednesday."
The Ansar lies in the soil
Dermot Weld confirmed today that Ansar (a firm ground specialist) is in great form but added: "They say that the ground is dead and that won't be in his favour."
