In depth
Verdict
Celtic Artisan had been in good form until disappointing behind Destinys Rock at Nottingham and the latter has ran poorly since. Enzo won over a shorter trip here in August but has yet to prove he stays this far and the latter comment also applies to Elena. Global Rock may improve now handicapping and Canasta has a shout on recent placed efforts but DELEYLL is preferred. The latter is back on a winning mark having won twice last year including a course and distance success and should go close if back to his best.
