In depth

Verdict

Celer Et Audax appeared to leave previous form behind when a close fourth at Warwick but it may not pay to take that run at face value. POTTLEREAGHEXPRES is making her handicap debut and on an upward curve so gets the nod in this receiving a couple of pounds from last month’s Plumpton scorer Hermosa Vaquera. Milan Of Crystal is more than capable in this grade but has been on the go for a while. All Hands On Deck is preferred to Versifier and The Crazed Moon of the remainder.
