Farkle Minkus was beaten five lengths when runner-up at Hamilton on his debut but better is expected here while Celebration never figured dropped back to 5f at Chester last time. Magical Spring, Strummer and Teepee Time look likely improvers with David Barron's charge preferred of that trio. But this won't take much winning and the newcomer DREAMING OF RIO, a half-brother to a dual winner, gets a speculative vote to make the trip up from Cheshire worthwhile.
