FormscanBy Michael Graham - GALILEO CHROME was in the mix for the Irish Derby before being ruled out with a stone bruise. He is clearly seen by connections as a stout stayer as he holds an entry in the Irish St Leger. There should be plenty more to come from him after his victory by a head in a 10-furlong maiden at the Curragh in June. He beat Serpentine into fifth there, and that horse subsequently made all in the Epsom Derby. Galileo Chrome is one of three horses that Joseph O'Brien saddles. His Degraves sets the standard with an official rating of 106. He won at Group 3 level last season, but hasn't been out since that race in October. He has only raced on rain-softened ground, and is markedly up in trip, so may be best watched. Delphi steps up in trip after winning his maiden over a mile, and then a race over a mile and a quarter. He doesn't win by far, but is a colt of considerable promise. You couldn't definitively rule out the other four runners, who have all won on their last starts, so this has the makings of an excellent race.
