Let's Celebrate, Native Daisy and Sukey Tawdray look the main protagonists in this poor seller and the narrow vote is given to Let's Celebrate. The selection was a fair second behind Idle Journey when last seen 553 days ago, that form stands out here and if he is fit he will be hard to beat. Native Daisy rates the main danger on his latest third behind Smart Tiger. That form has since been franked and as he is sure to strip fitter here he will not be far away. Sukey Tawdray was a fair fourth behind Can Can Flyer last time and is another with place claims but he often finds less than expected off the bridle. Of the remainder Gappersonneldotcom is another with place claims on his best form but his stable are woefylly out of form at present and in a race where few can be fancied for the winner we return to Let's Celebrate.
