After two days of flat action at the Galway Races, the action switches to jumps on Wednesday at Ballybrit.
The Galway Plate is the feature contest on an eight-race card and looks set to be a cracker.
Two-time Cheltenham Festival winner Samcro heads the weights for the 6.15pm contest, while last year's runner-up Royal Rendezvous will be aiming to go one better this time around.
Owner JP McManus, who won the race with Early Doors 12 months ago, has a strong hand in the 2m6½f feature once again. He runs The Shunter, Top Moon, Off You Go, Modus and Darasso.
Here's the full race card for Wednesday at the Galway Races:
