Galway Plate 2023 betting

Galway Plate odds are on paddypower.com and prices for the leading contenders can be seen on our snazzy widgets below.

Kilcruit is the favourite with Paddy Power for the Galway Plate after an emphatic success in the EMS Copiers Novice Handicap Chase in April earned a 12lb rise in the weights.

Final Orders is next in our betting thanks to his prolific strike rate over the larger obstacles and warmed up for this with a victory on the Flat.

Enniskerry is also prominent in the market after a successful outing on the Flat and scoring twice from three starts over fences including at novice Grade 3 level.
