        Verdict

        It is impossible to know which Celtic Star we will see today and, although he is respected, he represents no more than a saver option today. Therefore a chance is taken with Robbie Can Can, who has shown an aptitude for the stern tests of this undulating track. Forever My Lord and Ben Kenobi are others to consider if they are supported on course but Robbie Can Can, who acts on any ground, represents good value on the pick of his form and his determined attitude could be the decisive factor in what could turn out to be a messy race.
