The Godolphin runners Leoncavallo and Rewritten complicate matters with both bred to stay this longer trip having placed over 1m2f at Chelmsford and Lingfield respectively. With that pair hard to separate, a chance is taken on GALILEANO, a runner-up over track and trip last time with the re-opposing Champagne Ransom and Cahar Fad behind. Cocker and Destiny's Shadow have shown little so far and are hard to fancy.
