Verdict
DALILEO is a 150,000 euros son of Galileo out of a very smart two-year-old winner and can make a successful debut, though Gamesters Icon led until caught on the post over this trip on very fast ground at Thirsk and should make a bold bid from the front again. Dubai Empire has been staying on over 7f in York maidens so will be suited by the extra and Mail Order, a stable companion of the selection, did a bit better at Beverley but will need even more.
