Verdict

MINELLACELEBRATION ran well when finishing third off a 2lb higher mark at Taunton back in December and can record a second handicap success by taking this contest. The selection won off a 5lb lower mark over 3m1f at Aintree in October and this extended 2m7f looks more suitable than the 2m5f he raced over earlier this month. Pawn Star can chase home the selection on his first run since finishing behind the selection in that Aintree contest while Sykes is another of note here representing a yard who have had a few winners of late.
  1. Minellacelebration
  2. Pawn Star
  3. Sykes
