Verdict

CELTIC CHANGE can come out on top here at the main expense of Gala Casino Star and Exit Smiling. The selection hails from the Michael Dods yard and he is chasing the hat-trick here. He will need to produce a career best effort to win this but he looks to be improving and he gets the nod. Gala Casino Star chased home Moheebb last time out but that form took a bit of a knock when Moheebb disappointed at Beverley on Thursday. Exit Smiling has got course and distance form and he was a narrow scorer at Pontefract last time, but off this mark he will find life tough. Veiled Applause is capable on his day but he finished behind Exit Smiling last time and he may have to drop a few pounds before he is able to get competitive. For the pick we return to Celtic Change.
