Verdict

COURTSIDE battled on gamely to pick up an amateur riders' event at Lingfield but he’s gone well here under James Doyle in the past and the Classic-winning rider sticks around to take the mount in the finale. Inexplicable is not the strongest of finishers though it appears significant that the trainer elects to continue with him over the extended mile. Dark Kris has come in for support on his last two starts and Galactic Glow could be potentially well in on the pick of his earlier form on the Turf and he’s sent on the long journey up from Luke Dace’s yard in West Sussex.
