Celtic Duke, Upham Lord and Bard of Drumcoo look the three to concentrate on in this hunter chase with the vote going to Upham Lord. The selection is a multiple winner between the flags and would probably of won last time but for crumpling on landing at the second ;last at Cheltenham in a race won by Bahamian Spirit, a reproduction of that effort should suffice here. Celtic Duke rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Cantarinho but his best efforts have come on fast ground and he would not want any more rain. Bard Of Drumcoo has been in fair form between the flags of late but he is not prove over regulation fences and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Millennium Way was a fair second behind Little Farmer last time but he remains a maiden in this sphere and he will need to improve to defeat the selection Upham Lord.
