        Verdict

        With his stable in outstanding form, Azor Ahai will be expected to step up on his debut at Newbury where he didn't get going until too late. The remaining pair with experience look up against it so this can go to a newcomer. Celebrity Dancer looks well bought at £23,000 as he's a half-brother to three decent winners while Port Of Leith is related to a host of winners. ZIP is by Kyllachy out of a 7f and 1m winner so should have enough pace and gets the vote as Skeetah was engaged to run at Nottingham yesterday.
