Verdict

Wayne Lordan will have had the pick of Tommy Stack's pair he and has chosen CELERINA over Capulet Monteque. His mount has twice shown good pace over 7f at Gowran and may be suited by the drop in trip while Capulet Monteque has been disappointing after looking a sure-fire future winner when beaten a short-head by Big Typhoon at Dundalk. Hopefully the jockey will have got it right and this doesn't look the strongest of maidens especially as Toparch is held on latest running and Arcadian Dream hasn't been seen since third behind Bankrobber at Fairyhouse last July.
