It will be interesting to see how Galapiat goes earlier on the card and his performance could well reflect the chance of FAITHFUL CREEK who was a distant runner-up to that rival when last seen. That was still a respectable effort and the form has a solid look to it so he should go well once again. Dolphin Vista wasn't seen to best effect last time out in the Lincoln when given too much to do but he did stay on eye-catchingly well and will enjoy this step up in trip. Eddystone Rock looks like a solid contender and his consistency could see him run a place at the very least.
