Cantlow (right) could go for the Galway Plate
A tilt at the Galway Plate on July 29 is on the agenda for Cantlow following his recent sixth-placed finish in the Irish Grand National.
The ten-year-old, from Paul Webber’s Mollington stables, near Banbury, showed signs of a revival at Fairyhouse having run below his best on each of his previous starts this season.
Webber said: “Considering how bad the ground was at Fairyhouse, I thought he ran a very good race indeed.
“He’s always preferred good ground and the jockey (Tony McCoy) said when he came back in that it was the ground that beat him as he felt he had plenty more to give.
“We’ll train him towards the Galway Plate in the summer.”
