        Verdict

        Zzoro finally won a handicap when successful in soft ground at Newmarket but is upped 5lb while Retrieve has been running in plating races and only won a seller at Wolverhampton last time. CELEBRATION DAY (NAP) returned to winning ways over track and trip three weeks ago and can effectively race off the same mark today with George Woods’ allowance taking into consideration. He can go in again, though Ickymasho could prove troublesome back on the all-weather having failed to figure at Windsor last time.
