      Verdict

      Galileo Silver has his big weight reduced by 5lb with Jordan Nailor's claim but, though he arrives in fine form, he's making his chasing debut. ARMATTIEKAN has won two lower-grade chases in the past few weeks and had all sorts of problems in the other. He's climbing the ratings but won with something to spare last time and looks the one to beat. He had Brotherly Company and Not The Chablis a long way behind here last month and it's difficult to see a form reversal.
