Galah finished just over a length behind Twilight Twist when making her debut at Newcastle but she is a pound worse off here. Patient Dream came up against a potentially-useful juvenile when second at Wetherby while Titian is an interesting recruit. He won twice on the Flat when trained by William Haggas and his stable won this last year with the useful Adagio. Lady Pacifico won well at Leicester but the second has been well beaten since. YORKSEA ran green in a Grade 2 here four weeks ago but stayed on strongly once the penny dropped and he can build on that experience today getting 4lb from Wetherby fourth Keepyourdreamsbig and 7lb from French import Message Personnel. Interne De Sivola suggested he’d need further when third at Warwick.
