Galilee Chapel remains in good form and won over 1m4f at Wolverhampton earlier this month. He’d earlier finished third to Taopix here and the latter went close again last time. Thello was ahead of Swiss Lait and Devious Spirit when scoring over track and trip a fortnight ago and is only upped 4lb while Hydrant and Rubis are not out of this off their current marks. But this is no tougher than the claimer at Wolverhampton that GLORIOUS ASSET finished third in on his belated comeback and Ivan Furtado’s charge is taken to make up for lost time by landing this.
