Gelding by Danehill Dancer out of a Galileo mare related to Planteur, Mastercraftsman and recent Wolverhampton runner-up Towerlands Park. May find this tough on debut.
Solid and consistent in two starts here last month and will be looking to continue improvement in this contest. Worth a market check.
