Returning from a very long absence, Celestial Force was well beaten in a seller on the Flat nine days ago. WHATSUPWITHYOU (NAP) has been running well in much stronger company and can take advantage of this drop in grade under 7lb claimer Beau Morgan as Showbusiness has been off the track for the best part of a year and has also changed stables. Letterston Lady looks a bigger danger as she’s given the impression that she’ll stay this longer trip and she remains unexposed in handicaps.
