Gallery in good form for return Stan Moore thinks his Prix de l'Abbaye winner Total Gallery will "take a bit of beating" in the StanJames.com Palace House Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday. The consistent four-year-old has to carry a Group One penalty for his success at Longchamp and Moore is using the race as a stepping stone to the King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot. However, he still expects him to run a big race. "Total Gallery is in very good form. He has had one piece of work away from home and he is in as good form as you could expect for his first run," said Moore. "His main aim is the King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot so he will improve for the run on Saturday but having said that, he is certainly in good enough order to do himself justice and I think he will take a bit of beating. "He will be entered in the Temple Stakes at Haydock next month and there is every chance that he will go there after Newmarket but if it came up heavy there like it did last year, then I wouldn't run him. He goes on most ground but he didn't handle heavy last year. "He came back from Hong Kong without any problems and we made the King's Stand Stakes his prime target for the first part of the year, so we decided to miss Dubai and start him off in the Palace House Stakes."
