Denis O'Regan booked to ride Ansar in 2008 William Hill Galway PlateAnsar, bidding for his third Galway Plate victory, will be ridden by Denis O'Regan who partnered him to victory in 2005.
Dermot Weld, trainer of Ansar, said: "Denis has been booked to ride Ansar and he will also ride Majestic Concorde, who won on the Flat at Killarney on Tuesday, for us in the Guinness Galway Hurdle."
O'Regan told At The Races: "Ansar carries 11 stone this year and is a good ride in the race. I haven't ridden him recently but I saw him running on the flat. He still has his spark.
He's a very, very special horse and he has been to me and my career. He's dropped a good bit now and the key to him is the ground: if it's quick he's a right chance."
David Casey won the 2004 Galway Plate on Ansar and Ruby Walsh was on board when Ansar finished runner-up to Far From Trouble in 2006.
