Verdict

Flatfoot Boogie has yet to score outside of novice company but has performed with credit in tough handicaps though he has a penalty to carry here. Star Power looked well suited to fast ground when landing a Gowran maiden and though this is tougher there should be more to come while War Of The Pennys didn't stay 3m at Kilbeggan after scoring at Tramore. CELESTIAL PROSPECT is a fast-ground specialist as he showed again at Gowran when conceding 18lb and beating Acapulco Gold a head. He won't mind this shorter trip and will take some catching so gets the vote over Sweet My Lord, who has been chasing and though he's generally performed in better company he hasn't won over timber since 2011.
