Verdict

GALILEO ISLAND made good progress when romping home by 4 lengths at Chelmsford City and his opening mark seems more than fair. Penhallam should appreciate returning to better ground after disappointing on soft at Sandown, while Balthamos has shown improvement since being gelded and may have more to offer in his first handicap.
