Flat winner Man Look, from last year’s winning stable, has been very disappointing so far over timber so this looks a good opportunity for DUBAI CELEBRITY to get off the mark under NH Rules given he’s been placed in both starts since joining Chris Grant. West Class has won a point-to-point so may do better when tackling fences but Raennavich has been going backwards. None of the others make much appeal either.
