Verdict
Gallaside began his winning run with a novice victory at Newcastle before landing a mile nursery on this track. He battled to a hat-trick back on Tyneside last month and won't go down without a fight. Dubai Souq hails from a yard in cracking form but finished last of five on his nursery debut after an easy maiden victory at Wolverhampton. Flylikeaneagle has won twice over Beverley's stiff 7f but was well beaten into second on heavy going at Hamilton while Green Book looked one paced at Pontefract. Island Storm has steadily improved and was well supported at Newcastle while Walkonby has won three of her last four and still looks on a fair mark. DUKE OF CONDICOTE ran over this trip on soft ground at Goodwood and really caught the eye. He's capable of better and gets the nod in a tricky nursery.
