Verdict

GALWAY SHAWL (2) won 3 from 4 in her debut campaign and doesn't look to have lost a yard judging by her recent trial. She's unbeaten at this course and distance and the wide draw doesn't look an issue with her adaptability. Can pick up from where she left off. LOST GRAVITY (1) missed over this trip at Ascot first-up and will find this much easier than the race he was in there. Catarino claims 7lbs now and he draws to be in contention. Can improve on a sub-par performance first-up. HEZANGELIC (4) can roll forward from the draw and set the tempo under the 9lbs claimer. He's proving tough to run down in recent events and now at his peak fitness and with no weight on his back, it may be his time to strike. DESERT LIFE (8) can resume on a positive note with the blinkers being applied. ZOUBOLTZ (5) trialled nicely coming in and won't be far away.
