Verdict
GALILEAN, a winner on the Flat, made too many mistakes on his hurdling bow at Fairyhouse but shaped with promise and will have come on markedly for the experience. He should be good enough to land a poor opener though Timber House went for £100,000 after easily landing a point at Ballysteen in April 2017 and makes his debut for Gordon Elliott. Top Of The Charts only showed moderate ability for Warren Greatrex in the UK so Allez Dance looks more of a threat as he ran in better company in France back in 2017.
