GALILEO GOLD, who caught the eye on his debut at York ten days ago, can fulfil that promise at Salisbury today.

Trained by Hugo Palmer, this juvenile son of Paco Boy finished second on Knavesmire to the more experienced Age Of Empire – comfortably ahead of Tawakkol, the beaten favourite, in third place.

There was plenty to like about that performance, especially as Galileo Gold had displayed signs of inexperience both in the preliminaries and in the race before the penny dropped about what was required of him.

He should have gained plenty of benefit from that York visit and is fancied to go one better in division two of the Bathwick Tyres Maiden Stakes. Martin Harley again has the ride.

The £12,000 EBF Stallions Breeding Winners Margadale Fillies' Handicap offers nap selection MOONLIGHT SONATA a good opportunity to lose her maiden tag on her handicap bow.

Brought along steadily by Sir Michael Stoute, Moonlight Sonata has finished in the frame in all her three starts to date and may have needed her comeback race at Sandown in April when she finished third to Brandybend after starting favourite.

This race presents her with a good opportunity off a reasonable opening mark of 79 and taking on rivals only of her own gender. Ryan Moore will be in the saddle.

In the Molson Coor Handicap, it could be worth taking a chance on SPECULATOR, trained by David Menusier and the mount of Charles Bishop.

Although he has yet to trouble the judge in three races, Speculator has shown some ability in maiden company. Given a mark of just 57 for this handicap debut, it offers him the chance to do considerably better in a modest contest.

Josh Quinn, son of lightweight jockey Jimmy Quinn, can figure among the Salisbury winners on LEAD A MERRY DANCE in the CGA Racing Excellence Apprentice Handicap.

Quinn was previously apprenticed to Malton trainer Richard Fahey but is now with Richard Hannon. He rides Lead A Merry Dance for Hannon's brother-in-law Sylvester Kirk, who has placed the four-year-old to win her last two races.

Successful at Bath and Goodwood, the filly has good prospects of completing a hat-trick.

At Southwell's evening meeting, BROTHER SCOTT can gain a deserved triumph in the opening NIS Signs Handicap Chase.

Trained at Bingley by Sue Smith, the eight-year-old has run in ten chases and – although yet to get his head in front – has finished second four times and third on a further three occasions.

Runner-up to Leanna Ban at Kelso on his latest outing, Brother Scott may find carrying bottom weight in this three-miler the perfect opportunity to break his duck over the major obstacles.

DUN SCAITH is fancied to follow up his recent Bangor success in the Thank You Steve Hillyer Transport Handicap Hurdle.

Sophie Leech's gelding had 13 lengths to spare on his latest outing, which represented a step forward on his previous efforts.

It will not be easy to do the same again off a 12lb higher mark but, now that he's gained a win, Dun Scaith may be able to oblige a second time. Killian Moore again has the mount.

BRAVE RICHARD has to concede weight all round in the National Hunt Flat Race but John Jenkins' useful-looking charge may well be up to the task.

Successful at Huntingdon in April, he followed up in pleasing style at Market Rasen last month. Paul Moloney, in the saddle on both occasions, takes the mount again.
