Verdict
GHALY (NAP) has looked something of a slow burner but upped his game when narrowly failing to upset Lady Lawyer at Chelmsford. The form looks strong now as the winner has since landed a valuable Class 2 handicap and it would be disappointing if the Godolphin inmate can not frank the form here. Casanova is the chief threat but has a relatively modest effort last time to put behind him. That said, both previous runs were full of promise and John Gosden has given the son of Frankel a three-month break since that below-par effort. He remains of considerable interest with Olympic Conqueror and newcomer Court Order suggested as next best.
