Galactic Glow comes out best at the weights but has plenty to prove over this longer trip. He has the beating of Tenfold and the less exposed IRIS BUD on these terms but the latter finished over seven lengths clear of the rest when beaten by the odds-on favourite at Chelmsford and the Gosden filly should be in the mix once again. The returning four-year-old Theoule showed promise on his debut back in February and is preferred to Turquoise Kingdom while the 120,000gns purchase Going Underground and fellow newcomer Quiet Evening are worth noting in the betting.
