Verdict

Celtic Artisan finished in front of Street Poet when scoring over track and trip last month. The latter won over a longer trip here subsequently with Subliminal behind but, like Grey Destiny and Ghazan, has something to find in this. Billy Roberts was beaten only a neck over 1m2f at Leicester last time while WHATWOULDYOUKNOW has raced over the same distance at Beverley in all three outings so far this year. Richard Guest’s charge completed a double here in November, including a course and distance success, and is only 2lb higher returning for the first time since.
