In depth

Verdict

Ventura Flame went up 2lb for scoring at Beverley and though running well has been unable to add to that victory. He had Buniann almost 4 lengths behind that day though the latter didn't get the clearest of runs and should get much closer. LADY CELIA won twice here last summer and returned to form when beaten a neck into third here last week. Paul Hanagan takes over from an apprentice and Richard Fahey's speedily-bred filly can get off the mark for the season. Both of Ballyare's victories have been on the all-weather but he wasn't beaten far at Carlisle last month.
