        In depth

        Verdict

        None of these inspire much confidence given Voice From Above is upped in class after a close-up fourth at Thirsk and Applejack Lad was still beaten five lengths when runner-up at Catterick with Frightened Rabbit further behind. Nonagon remains 10lb higher than last year’s win over a shorter trip at Nottingham so a speculative vote goes to CELTIC POWER on his first start since September having won over 1m3f here when last in action and only 3lb higher today.
