In depth
Verdict
Celtic Artisan popped up at 20/1 at Chelmsford back in September but has his first start since. Swansway was ahead of Bromance when third here last month while African Showgirl has posted a couple of better efforts at Southwell recently and could figure. What Usain and Princess Peaches are not badly treated if on a going day but a chance is taken on DOMINANNIE opening her account in such modest company as she drops down in class on her first start since July.
