Verdict
Fairy Mist and Celtic Ava finished almost upsides here last time though separated by a couple of places. Chandrayaan was well behind the latter pair while Binky Blue was ahead of Paradise Spectre when a close-up third at Wolverhampton earlier in the week and has every chance with a similar effort. But KRISTOFF is one of the least exposed and Jim Boyle's charge gets the vote having left his previous form behind to go close at Chelmsford last time in a tougher handicap than this.
