In depth
Verdict
A large field goes to post for the first on the card but on closer inspection the main protagonists appear to be Adelphi Boy, Mana-Mou-Bay and Celebration Town. We will take a chance on Adelphi Boy who was a good second behind Rescator on his debut over hurdles. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and will be hard to beat with conditions in his favour. Mana-Mou-Bay rates the main danger on his latest third behind Be Fair and he is another that will be suited by conditions. Celebration Town is closely matched with Adelphi Boy on a line through Rescator and is another worthy of consideration. Of the remainder Campadre showed improved form to be fourth last time and if he improves again he should go well.
