Verdict

Richard Hannon runs three with CEELO looking to have the best chance. It was heavy ground here when he failed to figure in the Weatherbys Super Sprint but any improvement on his debut third at Leicester should be good enough to land this. Stablemate and newcomer Al Zein is related to Listed winner Rhythm Of Light among others and makes more appeal than Lisa's Legacy but Grand Denial and Lazarus Bell are other debutants worth noting. Any strong support for 92,000gns purchase Red Invader could also prove significant.
