125,000euros 2yo; Galileo Gold filly flew home from some way back on debut at Gowran in October to finish clear second to a smart sort over an extended 1m on heavy; should relish this trip.

Galileo Dame

8st 12lb

J: Ryan Moore

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Yard runs three; well beaten in Listed races last autumn but, fit from hurdling, made a good Flat return when second at Navan (1m6f, heavy) at the end of March; that was both her Flat handicap debut and the furthest she's been in this sphere, which opens up possibilities for her as a Flat stayer.

Dual-purpose; hacked up in a maiden hurdle here last month (2m, heavy); struggled on last three Flat starts in listed company in the autumn but might be a different proposition now tried in a handicap off what could be a workable mark; big player.
