Verdict

Palypso De Creek had some decent form under Rules for Charlie Longsdon last season but the one to beat in this may be GALWAY JACK, who kept on well to land the odds from the useful Offshore Account on his reappearance between the flags and will strip fitter for the run. Over The Phone had Bradley and Humbel Times behind when third at Chaddesley Corbett last month but Caught In Times may need this. Orient Legend had to be driven out to beat Petit Lord at Larkhill recently but may still be best of the rest as Glenstal Abbey needs to rediscover his best if he is to carry a big weight to victory.
