Verdict
Celebration began with a good run at Newcastle before disappointing in his next two starts but bounced back to land a Catterick nursery - he's 5lb higher here and this is a much stiffer track. Sharara has had all of his three starts to date over an extra furlong so is likely to be staying on at the finish while Ron Harris won this a year ago and Just Glamorous ran well under a big weight at Chepstow. Lady Kheleyf didn't have much to do to land a Lingfield maiden but SILVER SPRINGS won so easily on the Turf course there a couple of weeks ago that she looks the one to be on.
