Verdict

This looks a competitive handicap and while Sirvino, Royal Amnesty, Wind Shuffle, and Wind Star all have leading chances after winning last time out we marginally prefer the chances of CELTIC CHANGE. The five-year-old gelding was only just denied victory after staying on well at this track over a slightly shorter trip last time. Given the manner of his finish that day in similar condition he should benefit for the extra yardage and his mark was only adversely affected by one pound. Out of those last time out winners Royal Amnesty is probably the best treated after reassessment, up just the four pounds for a comfortably enough success and he should go well over a trip he has scored over seven times in his career. Sirvino, Wind Shuffle and Wind Star may have been given a little too much to do by the assessor with the first mentioned the most likely of the trio to run his race while those hunting value should perhaps look to Bourse after some consistent performances. This should be a tightly run thing with Celtic Change the marginal call.
