Verdict

RED GALILEO missed the whole of last year but returned to action with a victory over 1m6f here last month. He narrowly beat the in-form Carbon Dating but is expected to confirm running with further progress likely over today’s longer trip. Warrior Of Light was fourth behind the selection last time but is still preferred to stablemate Beach Bar while Curbyourenthusiasm was well beaten in Cup races at at Goodwood and York last year on his only previous attempts at 2m. Blue Rambler has won just the once since 2013 and that was over hurdles at Wetherby in October while Zamaam attempts today’s longer trip for the first time in a bid to end a long losing run.
