Verdict
GALTEE MOUNTAIN has won four times around here, completing a double over the trip in his last two starts. He's on his highest-ever mark after scoring in this grade last month but a hat-trick beckons. Winning hurdler Furkash ran easily his best race over fences when beaten a head at Taunton where he was conceding the winner 18lb so looks a threat. Concrete King, four times a winner between the flags, was having just his second start over fences when beaten a couple of lengths here last month but Silent Assistant is only dropping slowly in the ratings and still looks high enough.
