Racing Post verdict
Third-partyGaliyan heads the market on the back of a taking maiden success at Chester and rates the most interesting runner on these terms, with the step up to fourteen furlongs at a stiff track like Ascot looking very much in his favour as he continues to develop. The ground should suit, and there is every reason to believe he has more to offer as he matures. Asakir and Del Maro are the chief threats on form, while Wareeth merits respect as the handicapper's pick of the rest, though this looks a relatively modest renewal at the top level. **Galiyan** is the selection, albeit one to take with a degree of caution given his limited experience.
