Verdict

This is an intriguing contest, with a couple of these evidently thought capable of being above-average. Namely, Mustang Alpha and Celtic Tara. The former was pitched into a Cheltenham bumper on debut for connections. This represents a drop in grade for him, which he should really appreciate. The latter ran nowhere near market expectations when well-backed on debut, only to finish last of seven. She is worth another chance on just her second career start. The selection is PERFECT PREDATOR who is well-related and drew clear of his rivals on hurdles debut recently, only to finish runner-up. He can put that experience to good use and get off the mark at the second attempt.
  1. Perfect Predator
  2. Celtic Tara
  3. Mustang Alpha
