Verdict

This is a difficult one to call and although last year's winner Loup The Loup is respected, he may find his 7lb higher mark counting against him in the closing stages this evening. Therefore the unexposed Celtic Style is selected in the hope that the step up in trip can bring the best out of him. Alrida and E Minor are other to consider on the pick of their form, but lack the scope of the Mark Johnston-trained top weight. Celtic Style fits the profile of a typical improver from the Middleham-based trainer's yard and he is taken to make the most of this easier grade of contest than his earlier engagements this season.
