Verdict
The form of GALTYMORE LAD's two runs behind Wootton Bassett earlier in the campaign looks to be the best on offer here and he can follow-up a facile Salisbury success. The colt is equally adept at both 6f and 7f and proved last time that he acts with cut. A repeat of either of those aforementioned efforts would surely be good enough. Cape To Rio also goes on the ground and steps in here from Group 3 company where he was not disgraced at Ascot. He is a danger. Signs In The Sand is arguably unexposed at this level and after four starts there is likely to be more to come.
