Grey Galleon just about sets the form standard and has gone well previously for Amelia Glass. The combination represents strong short-list material with conditions to suit but narrow preference is for STAY FOREVER. The Balding filly may well have more progress to reveal and was given a cool winning ride from today's pilot when landing a first career success at Sandown recently. She is only 2lb higher than for that victory. Air Of York is exposed but should run his race whereas the unexposed Tell William looks interesting making a handicap bow on just his fourth start.
