Take Two went close in one of these events at Newbury recently and So Celebre has been thereabouts on the all-weather of late and can also figure. French Mix won easily at Dundalk earlier but a massive 15lb hike in the weights put paid to her chances last time and SNOWY WINTER makes more appeal. She showed further progress when scoring at Newcastle on her latest start and with a leading amateur on board, Archie Watson’s three-year-old may not have finished improving yet.
