Verdict

Celtic Duke, Free and Unlimited Free look the ones to concentrate on in this hunter chase and the confident vote goes to Celtic Duke. The selection won well last time out when defeating Millennium Way and need only reproduce that effort to score. Free rates the main danger he has been in good form between the flags of late but his best form is when emphasis is more on stamina and this fast circuit is not sure to suit so he is passed over on this occasion. Unlimited Free is another that has been in fair form of late and has conditions to suit but gets limited assistance from the saddle so is passed over for that reason. Of the remainder Balisteros would have a chance on his best form but he is far from convincing over regulation fences and for the winner we return to Celtic Duke.
