In depth
Verdict
Galileo, Lucifer Bleu, and Winter Garden are three against the field in this novices chase and the confident vote goes to Galileo. The selection was much better than all these rivals over hurdles and although he took a heavy fall on his chasing debut he had jumped well until that point and if her gets round he will be hard to beat. Lucifer Bleu rates the main danger he won well last time when defeating Distance Romance but he will find it hard to give weight and a beating to the selection if they both jump adequately. Winter Garden is sure to run his race he was a good second behind Spectrometer last time but he has had plenty of chances without taking them and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Meldrum Star is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Galileo
