The consistent GALLO DELL CIELO (4) has been knocking on the door of late and could prove capable of defying a 1lb rise in weights for a good runner-up effort over 1m2 1/2f here last time. There might be further improvement to come from the unexposed LORD TALBOT (11) who steps up in distance after staying on nicely to make a winning handicap debut here last month. Top-weight VIVACIOUS LADY (1) cannot be ruled out on the back of a decent track and trip second last start. RANKO EXPRESS (5) is worth noting for each-way purposes.
