GALILEO SILVER has been in good form over the summer. He’s been raised 2lb since his second at Newton Abbot but Richard Johnson rides for the first time and Sam Thomas’ charge, only five, is probably the one to beat. Fitness could be an issue for Spectator, Quiz Master and Nifty At Fifty while Transpennine Star has been raised a further pound since his latest fifth at Fontwell. Zarafshan is more interesting than the latter having a first run in a handicap and upped in trip again.
