Master T is given one last chance to get his head in front with Island Stream and Celtic Star rating the main dangers. The selection was beaten at odds on last time out when second behind Cal Mac. However he fell and then was remounted. He jumped well in the main on that occasion and if he puts in a clear round here he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Island Stream rates the main danger on his latest third behind Translucid but that was 140 days ago and he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection after such a break. Celtic Star is another that could go well he had every chance until falling in a race won by Xcellance last time and if his confidence has not been effected he will not be far away. However he would not want any more rain. Barnards Green needs to improve on all known form to trouble the principals. This is a trappy affair and stakes should be kept to a minimum but for the winner we return to Master T.
