Verdict

This looks a bit short for Curious Bride, narrowly beaten over two miles in January before a poor run over hurdles. Deluca Chop, three-times a winner at around this trip on the Flat in France, got up close home over the extended 1m2f last month so the extra shouldn't be a problem. Celtic Revival is on a course and distance hat-trick but he's 5lb higher and was ridden by a 7lb claimer for both victories. Magi Gal has dropped to a lowly mark but was beaten six lengths into second a month ago and hasn't won since November 2020. MARALINGA's only success came over a mile on Turf but he's been staying on over shorter the last twice and this could be his day.
