Verdict
Gallery Girl gets the confident vote to win this listed race with Gamble In Gold and Green Park rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth on her first run of the season behind Ingleby Arch, that form has since been franked and with improvement likely under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Gamble In Gold rates the main danger now that he is dropped in class but he is hard to win with. Green Park won well last time out when beating Grazeon Gold Blend but this looks tougher and his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. Of the remainder Angus Newz has conditions to suit and could go well at a price but Gallery Girl looks progressive and is taken to score.
