        Verdict

        GALESBURG is at his best with cut in the ground and drops back down in class. Racing off the same mark as when successful at Beverley in May, Mark Johnston’s charge should go close. Donttouchthechips ran well in maiden company at Chepstow last time but Windsor winner Outback Blue is preferred with an apprentice taking 7lb off his back after finishing fourth over track and trip earlier this month. Viscount Barfield was beaten only a length at Kempton recently and Irish Optimism is the least exposed while Bell Heather is preferred to stablemate Theos Lolly.
