Verdict
CENTREOFEXCELLENCE looks the one to beat in a modest opener if reproducing the much-improved form he showed when taking a conditionals' race at Wincanton earlier this month. His stable continues in fine form and he can race off the same mark. Snippetydoodah bids to follow up a recent course and distance victory but faster ground could be a problem. Shaddaii was second at Chepstow after winning at Huntingdon while Gold Bonne Raine is a probable improver.
