In depth

Verdict

Red Gala should be up to landing the finale with Balashi and Sculastic the pair to chase him home. The selection has had two solid runs so far and his most recent second behind Profitable at Kempton is the best form on show here. If he goes on the ground then he should prove too strong for the rest. Balashi looks the part on breeding and with the stable in red hot form at present he has to enter calculations. Sculastic is interesting as he ran well on his debut on soft ground at Newmarket when second behind Highland Blaze. He sure to come on for the run and as we know he handles the ground he looks a sure thing to make the frame. Clear Sailing showed promise on his debut and is another worthy of some consideration, but for the winner we will return to Red Gala.
