In depth
Verdict
ROYAL CELEBRATION scored over track and trip three weeks ago beating Local Artist, Little Kingdom and Flying Hope. He should go close again, despite a 4lb rise, given collateral form also gives him ,the beating of Lingfield selling race winner Spin Top. Zandradee beat a horse rated 62 to land a maiden race at Southwell on her racecourse debut and should hold her own at this level on that form but Bismarck The Flyer has done all his winning so far in plating races.
