Galey River, Top Ref and Giorgio are the four that look the best of this bunch with the vote going to Giorgio. The selection comes from a yard in form and this unexposed individual has put up two fine efforts of late most notably when third over further behind Everready. This drop back to two miles will help and with a repeat performance can break his maiden tag today. Galey River finished fourth over hurdles back in March on his debut and was only beaten three lengths that day. He has won over a mile and a quarter on the flat so should stay and any market moves could prove a guide to his chances. Top Ref comes from the O¿Neill empire but the fact that McCoy does not ride might mean he is not a stable star. Don¿t read too much into that as the yard do like the odd punt so watch out for any moves in the market. But for the winner we return to Giorgio
