Verdict
Galactic Power may finally have his day dropped a further 2lb. He’s attracted market support and been thereabouts in his last four runs and is now 6lb lower than when last successful. But we’re going to give another chance to HEAD LAD, who appeared to find 2m3f too short when behind Top Decision at Warwick and is 5lb better off with the winner. Lingfield third Shroughmore Lass will also enjoy a step back up in trip but Cuban Pete has had another break since finishing tailed off at Ffos Las. Agincourt Reef may be the pick of the remainder.
