        Verdict

        This would appear to be a decent opportunity for Celt unless Almonafis or Cheeky Download can find some improvement or Al Asayl Rose is above average. Luca Cumani's colt has a BHA rating of 80 which gives him 5lbs in hand of Almonafis and the latter has plenty to prove following a poor run in a visor last time. The selection, in contrast, has been doing nothing wrong in handicap company and he should be good enough to take this. Cheeky Download is no forlorn hope as he was only a couple of lengths behind the selection in April and showed improved form next time. He wouldn't need to have made too much more progress in the interim to be a factor. Al Asayl Rose hails from an in-form yard capable of readying a newcomer and needs a market check but Celt is the obvious selection.
