Verdict

A tricky handicap but Celibate has plenty in his favour and is the TEAMtalk choice to scoop this valuable prize. Charlie Mann's charge is on a winning mark and should be sharper for a recent reappearance when an encouraging third so looks sure to go well on ground that holds no terrors. Lord Moose ended last season in style with a Newbury victory but this is tougher off a 7lb higher mark and he lacks a recent outing. The latter point also applies to both Dulas Bay, whose form tailed off last term, and Dunston Bill who has something to prove having been absent since falling at Bangor in March.
