Verdict

It remains early days for Galileo's Spear on these shores, and he's one to be cautious of on his first foray away from Southwell, but the likely favourite Mambo Dancer (twice a winner over 2m on Tapeta) appeared to have precious few excuses for his C&D defeat off this mark earlier this month. Therefore in a race which rates as trappy (despite the small field), a tentative vote goes to DIAKTOROS. His ability to stay is broadly untested, but he's largely unexposed for Ian Williams, and the application of first time cheek-pieces could help.
  1. Diaktoros
  2. Galileo's Spear
  3. Mambo Dancer
