        Verdict

        Top weight DOUBLE ACT can take this lowly claimer, but Hold The Bucks and Celtic Commitment wouldn't be without a chance in a poor contest. Jeremy Noseda's runner won a similar event earlier in the month at Wolverhampton, which is also the scene of his only other success. The tongue tie stays in, having brought about some improvement. Celtic Commitment has shown little previously in better grade races, but this isn't going to take much winning. Hold The Bucks is a multiple all-weather winner, but not here, and not off such a high mark. He's been placed though in more than half his races, and is likely to be supported. We think though a more likely winner is Double Act.
