GALEN has been a fine money-spinner for these connections and the form of his recent Wolferton fourth should see him go close again. Haatem beat the selection in last season's Wolferton and can pose a major threat, his finishing position at Royal Ascot down to bad luck rather than bad form, whilst Boiling Point already has a listed win here to his name this season and can be in the mix.

Haatem So far this year, things haven't panned out well for the likeable five-year-old, but this could be a feasible opportunity for him to get off the mark for the season.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: A strongly contested lead could count against Boiling Point, who is expected to try and race close up: A proliferation of possible pace-forcers could set things up for those coming from further back: Haatem is one who may benefit.
Individual Price Hint: Galen traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 25% or less of Betfair SP twice on 3 of its last 5 starts.
