Verdict
Gallardise makes his debut on Turf but won over this trip at Lingfield and is an interesting contender in an open-looking nursery. Spanish Colt is eased in grade after finishing third at Newmarket and Soft Whisper has been knocking on the door in novice company. Being a daughter of Frankel, ANGHAAM should be suited by this further step up in distance so gets a tentative vote ahead of stablemate Burristo and the penalised Kempton winner Breckland.
