A modest affair and top weight GALIOTTO heads the short-list having finished a close-up fourth over C&D off this mark on his latest outing, just behind runner-up Talbot Green. The latter was only sixth at Wolverhampton next time and is a pound worse off with his old rival now. Oneiric was beaten in a seller here on Tuesday and, like Darsan, has his stamina to prove over this trip while it's difficult to make a case for Il Portico and Lady Valtas.
