Verdict

Mark Johnston does well in these types of events and his Celtic Style is taken to score from Prins Willem and the potentially well handicapped Scarletti. The selection is only lightly raced but has showed enough ability to suggest he is capable of winning better races than this. The trip and ground should suit and he is a confident selection. Prince Willem may not have the best form on paper but this gelding is highly regarded by connections and with the stable starting to hit form he should go well and give the selection most to do. Scarletti has been running some decent races of late over hurdles and comes into this race fit. His flat form is nothing special but his trainer has the knack of sending out his hurdlers to win on the flat and it would be no surprise to see him go close here.
