Verdict

The Hughie Morrison pair at the foot of the handicap - Celtik Secret and Karabatika - are both worth a look in the market but at this stage, preference is for MEYANDI , for whom this drop back in trip can prove the catalyst for a win. Mirimar is another in good form and there's no reason for him not to go close in his bid to follow up his Lingfield win.
