In depth

Verdict

GALVANIZE stayed on well for second over 7f at Salisbury on his latest start and may come out best with further progress expected over this extra distance. He should have the measure of his stablemates Clear Evidence and Thikriyaat while Banham was well beaten on his debut at Newbury but Loading and Rockley Point look bigger threats. The former was not beaten far when third at Leicester and the latter drops back down in class having placed at Kempton earlier.
