Rated 87, TAQWAA should have the measure of these having finished third in a Class 2 maiden race at York last time. Phantom Flipper looks the main threat on his recent placed efforts though has 8lb to find with the selection on today's terms. Celebration Day showed some improvement on the all-weather last time but Wynford may improve past him after a modest debut at Newmarket earlier in the month.
