In depth

Verdict

Representingceltic has been chasing and may not have the speed to cope with a switch back to hurdles. The Tracey Shuffle is starting to come down the weights and showed a bit more at Perth last time while Guards Chapel has run well on the Flat since beating a subsequent winner here last month and can't be ruled out. Della Sun and CHILWORTH SCREAMER are both running well and, though upped in grade, have to go on the short-list again. Chris Gordon's mare is probably the better handicapped and can strike off bottom weight as Don't Stop Me Now may need another run.
