Verdict

GWASH could be the way to go if in the same form as when second over C&D on his latest start but there are a few possible dangers in what looks a competitive opener. Keel Strand can get straight back to form returned to a lower grade and is second choice ahead of You Some Girl, who shaped as if back on song at Sedgefield recently, and Galata Bridge.
