      Verdict

      GALILEO'S SPEAR has just the one win in 23 attempts but has tumbled down the weights since joining Sir Mark Prescott's yard and wasn't beaten far over 2m2f at Pontefract in October. He's preferred to Purple Rock, a runner-up over 1m4f here recently and taking a big step up in distance. The veteran Cousin Khee is a course and distance winner but was still well beaten when third over 2m here last month while Katie Gale and Sellingallthetime have both won on the Fibresand with the former preferred over today's marathon trip.
