Verdict
Silver Lily will have needed her comeback run and Keep Talking is capable of running well fresh. Galiotto has been in decent form on the Flat and is lightly raced over hurdles while Warsaw Pact continues to knock the door. But there should be more to come from Plumpton winner RED ROCK now he's got his head in front and he may be a bit more progressive than his rivals.
