In depth
Verdict
Star Of Lombardy is upped only 2lb for winning at Wolverhampton and has scored off today’s mark before. But it could be the turn of SO CELEBRE today on the back of a short-head defeat over today’s trip at Kempton. Stepney also found only one too good last time and the lightly-raced Clemento was placed at Haydock on his handicap debut. Malt Teaser and Archimento are others recently placed and the latter has tumbled down the weights.
