Celtic Spa, Scylla Cadeaux and Tiber Tilly are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Celtic Spa. The selection won well last time out when defeating Dive White and although having a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and is taken to defy the handicapper. Scylla Cadeaux enters handicaps on what looks a fair mark and with the drop in trip, also in her favour she should be watched in the market. Tiber Tilly is another that could go well on her latest fourth behind Robema, that form looks solid and she will not be far away. Guadaloup is sure to have come on for his latest run but has been done no favours by the draw while Westcourt Dream needs the ground to stay very fast if she is to have a chance and in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Celtic Spa.
