This looks a match between Celtic Boy and Kid'z'play and the vote is given to Kid'z Play. The selection goes particularly well at the track and although he was disappointing last time out that can be put down to the rain softened ground. This faster surface is sure to suit and this bold jumping front runner is taken to make all. Celtic Boy rates the main danger as he won in game fashion last time out when beating Champagne Harry but he continues to be beset by jumping problems and at likely odds he looks worth opposing. Goodbadindiferent also won well last time out when beating Possextowm but this looks more competitive. Lord Of Gortmerron looks outclassed and for the winner we return to Kid'z Play.
