Verdict

ROCK OF ENGLAND has done well since dropping to this trip and scored with more in hand than the margin suggested at Carlisle last time, so he's taken to follow up from a 5 lb higher mark. Celtic Champion remains low mileage and has valid excuses for finishing down the field at Wolverhampton last time, so also makes the shortlist, with Shades of Summer and Dashing Dick others to consider.

  1. ROCK OF ENGLAND (IRE)
  2. CELTIC CHAMPION
  3. SHADES OF SUMMER (IRE)
