Perceval Legallois has been installed as one of the favourites for the Tote Galway Plate and Gavin Cromwell thinks he could thrive in the €270,000 event on Wednesday week.
The trainer, who is seeking a maiden success in the big Ballybrit prize, expects the trip to be ideal for the unexposed seven-year-old. A total of 33 horses were entered for the Galway Plate and Perceval Legallois was immediately made favourite by most firms at 6-1.
Early support for In Excelsis Deo, who is also owned by JP McManus, saw BoyleSports cut Harry Fry's representative to 6-1 alongside Perceval Legallois, while Paddy Power also made the pair joint-favourites.
