Cassini came up against decent opposition in his two runs last season and the step up in trip shouldn’t be a problem. Temur Khan may not have stayed 1m4f at Thirsk having only been beaten half-a-length over this trip at Chelmsford earlier. Ishallak needs more but Drap D'or is an interesting newcomer and Cuban Fire has a middle-distance pedigree. Roger Charlton runs two but GALILEO SILVER may be the one to be on ahead of the filly Timespan. The grey is a full brother to a useful winner in Ireland who stayed further and he cost 155,000gns as a yearling.
