      Verdict

      The Yank was declared a non-runner at Wolverhampton yesterday but bids for a four-timer and has obvious claims if taking part. CELESTIAL BAY scored over a similar trip at Chelmsford last week with a bit to spare. He had a below par Salient well behind when winning here earlier and Sylvester Kirk's charge can go in again. Bennelong went close over a mile last time but stays this longer distance, as does Munsarim, a winner over 1m2f here last month. Dumbfounded usually runs his race but has been off the track since August.
