Gallego was just denied last time and can go one better here at the expense of Sand Iron, Master Joseph and Eforetto. Gallego has taken time to grow, but fulfilled connections hopes when improving to land a hat-trick earlier in the season. Although a bit disappointing on his next two outings, Richard Price's charge really caught the eye with his back-to-form second at Haydock last time, and although set to go jumping in future, can pay to support here. Sand Iron showed that he can handle soft ground at Folkestone in May but will do well to defy his penalty, while Master Joseph has been hard to place and remains a maiden. Eforetto has a slight turnaround in the weights with the selection for a narrow defeat at Wolverhampton but was behind Gallego again at Nottingham next time so is not fancied to turn the tables now, and we remain loyal to the latter.
