In depth
Verdict
CELTICELLO has to concede weight all round but has been taking on much stronger opposition since winning in this grade over 2m4f here in January. He has plenty of form over this shorter trip and may have too much resolution for the strong-travelling Tri Nations, who emptied quickly when only third at Stratford on Monday but should last longer over this distance. Miss Wendy was third in a seller at Towcester on her hurdling debut and gets all the allowances. She could play a part but Sole Bonne Femme looks thoroughly exposed and Galley Slave hasn't built on a couple of decent efforts here and at Market Rasen in the autumn.
