      Verdict

      Celtic Artisan continued his good progress at Wolverhampton a week ago when winning for the third time in his last four starts. He carries 6lb extra but should still confirm running with Foie Gras. Little Choosey was beaten only a neck here a fortnight ago when ahead of Samphire Coast but it could pay to stick with POLAR KITE. The latter won at Lingfield last month and went close to going in again when headed on the line at the same track last time with Greyfriarschorista back in fourth.
