      Verdict

      Salto Chisco might enjoy reverting to hurdles but has quite a hard race over fences at Bangor on Friday. CELESTIAL PATH should be followed until beaten as the penny finally seems to have dropped with this formerly useful Flat performer and he’s well worth a try in this higher grade. Excellent Team pops up now and again and his stable remain in excellent form but the others look to be facing a stiff task.
