Verdict

CELESTA looks the one to beat in this having made a promising start at Uttoxeter when well supported. Primo Rossi will struggle to reverse that form while Whatthebutlersaw also needs more. Spin The Beat was tailed off on his debut in November and hasn't been seen since while Oldeddietherebel is another returning from a lengthy absence. Silent Mission is a sister to a winning jumper and wouldn't need to be anything special to get involved on debut but Slanestown looks very one-paced.
