His trainer Olly Murphy has been in quite brilliant form for the last two weeks and Sir Galahad should certainly be fit to do himself justice having finished second at Market Rasen last month.

In fact he could well have won that day were it not for a couple of costly jumping errors - something Murphy is sure to have been working on in the interim.

Winner of four of his six starts, Sir Galahad can put his experience to good use against some potentially classier, but less battle-hardened types.
