Verdict

Though twice a winner over 3m, Taras Day is having a first run since last May. CELTIC TARA gets cheekpieces after a couple of narrow defeats at Huntingdon and can defy top weight in this ahead of the hat-trick seeking Freethinker, who has been raised a further 6lb. Onestepatatime was just beaten at Sedgefield and is only 3lb higher with The Black Squirrel and Pakie's Dream possibly the pick of the remainder.
