The likes of veteran Urban Space and Ivanhoe should be on the premises but look vulnerable to more progressive sorts, notably BLENHEIM WARRIOR. Richard Hughes is having a good season in his first full year as a trainer and has done well with this Galileo gelding, an ex-William Haggas inmate. He's up 4lb for a narrow success last time but should have more to offer on just his sixth run in three seasons and hopefully will take the step-up in trip in his stride under Shane Kelly. Cosette is the one to take advantage should the selection have any stamina issues as she stays further than this and has been in good form this season, winning twice and runner-up last time. She handles the ground too and seems sure to get involved. For Goodness Sake has been performing consistently well over timber and is respected.
