Verdict

The Newcastle nursery scorer GALLIC finished a couple of places (& 1½L) in front of the re-opposing Brian Epstein when chasing home a couple of subsequent winners on her seasonal reappearance at Newmarket's Craven meeting. Assuming that the rain stays away she holds realistic prospects of making her presence felt against the six colts and geldings in tonight's line-up. Of the remainder, it's probably a wise move to monitor the pre-race antics of the likely pace-setter Massam if seeking to row in with the Mark Johnston-trained runner.
