        Verdict

        Galileo's Spear has returned a losing favourite on the last three occasions and is worth opposing once again. Shine Baby Shine has been hurdling and both previous wins on the all-weather came at Southwell while Rubenesque also returns to the Flat but both of her wins so far came on Turf. Grey Mist scored over track and trip recently and can go well again but a chance is taken on dual 1m4f winner SEASEARCH improving for the longer distance given half-brother and former stablemate Chesil Beach won over 2m and Andrew Balding’s charge gets the nod in the opener.
