      Verdict

      Galero, Relix and Muckle Flugga are three against the field here and we will give the vote to Galero. The selection won well last time out when defeating Classic Event at Catterick. He was friendless in the market that day but the step up in trip seemed to work in his favour and he should be capable of going in again here with conditions to suit. Relix looks a little exposed but he was staying-on again at the finish when second behind Millagros on this track last time over 2m. The step-up in trip is in his favour and he looks to have decent place prospects. Muckle Flugga was a fair second last time behind Fantastico at Perth, and although she will have her optimum conditions this afternoon she has been off the track since June and she may just need the run. Sesame Rambler won well last time and may be the best of the remainder, but for the winner we will stick with Galero.
