Verdict
A couple of these bid for four-timers. Celtic Ava can include a success over course and distance among her recent wins but GIOVANNI DI BICCI (NAP) is preferred. The latter is a winner without a penalty having picked-up an apprentice's race over track and trip a week ago under today's jockey and Jim Boyle's charge can go in again. Gavarnie Encore beat Embankment and Blackthorn Stick when scoring here a fortnight ago and Zed Candy Girl also won her latest start at the track. Bridge Builder was second to Celtic Ava earlier but re-opposes on better terms today.
