In depth
Verdict
RED GALILEO was only beaten a head in a conditions race at Newbury last time. He'll be fancied open his account in this with Ryan Moore taking over the reins. Zumurudah showed a big improvement to win her maiden at Carlisle though it was soft ground on that occasion while Andy Dandy scored over 7f at Wolverhampton but this is much tougher. Capers Royal Star could have been found an easier opportunity for his debut but should go well.
