Verdict
Trading Profit won a match at Leicester as he liked but had earlier finished behind Morning Post. The latter has decent claims back over 7f and can reverse earlier running with Kickboxer. The unbeaten Piping Rock scored in heavy ground last time and should have the measure of stablemates Day Of Conquest and Anticipated, but something was amiss with Lyn Valley at Newmarket last month. Invincible Strike makes more appeal than Extra Noble and Cordite but GALIWAY gets the vote. An easy winner at Saint-Cloud on his debut, despite the narrow winning margin, it will be no surprise if the French raider proves good enough in this better company.
