Verdict
Galileano had been holding her form well before a poor effort at Nottingham and the same comment applies to All For The Best, well beaten over 2m at Kempton last month. DEVON DRUM (NAP) makes more appeal as David Brown's charge has found only one too good on his last couple of outings at Chelsmford and drops down a grade for this. Field Of Light has yet to win but is usually thereabouts over shorter trips while Sail With Sultana's win at Chepstow back in May is beginning to look like a fluke.
