Verdict
CELTIC AVA has obvious claims having won over 7f here on her latest start. A penalty is negated by Paddy Bradley's allowance and she can go in again. Star Pursuits has over three lengths to find with the selection on latest running and Crowning Star's better effort here last week came in a Class 7 event. It's hard to make a case for any of the remainder though the likes of Mariners Moon and Zubaidah tumbled down the weights last year.
