Verdict

GALAHAD THREEPWOOD has been threatening to come good lately and is taken to get off the mark over hurdles now stepping back up in trip. Headscarf Lil ran well at Newcastle on her latest start and has Brian Hughes doing the sterring so she's an obvious threat. The Navigator may just have needed the run after a short break at Catterick recently and also merits respect.
