Verdict

Celtic Artisan returns from a break but would have a squeak on his best form. Arabic Culture only won a seller at Wolverhampton last month but King Oswald has been in decent form of late and Toby Eley takes off a handy 7lb. Elixsoft has won here over 7f and it will be a surprise if he’s not in the firing-line but we’re loathe to desert LION HEARTED (NAP), who shrugged off a 13lb rise to complete his hat-trick in an apprentices’ race here on Friday and escapes a penalty with Luke Morris taking over the reins.
