Celtic Wish finished tailed off when last seen in March but his earlier form would see him with every chance in this. SPACE RACE has been in very good form over timber and on the Flat and though he's penalised for his lone success back in 2009 he should be good enough to concede the weight. Fairwood Massini has been a little disappointing though this shouldn't take too much winning while Carpet Elegance may need another run after being well beaten on his return to action after a long break.
