      Verdict

      Galileo's Spear was the subject of some market support last time at Southwell but weakened quickly. He should do better now switched to Polytrack but would also benefit from some help from the handicapper. Diaktoros was fourth when tried over this trip for the first time at Kempton but that was a slowly-run affair so he still has his stamina to prove. MAMBO DANCER couldn’t cope off this mark over track and trip last time having won twice earlier on Tapeta but drops in grade for this so gets another chance. The others have some improving to do to get involved.
