Verdict

A very competitive novice handicap to end the card. CELTIC NED made a good start to his handicap career at Lingfield last month and is taken to build on that and strike for Gary Moore. Last-time-out Taunton 1-2 Gyllen and Wot You Wearing head the many dangers along with Eloi du Puy and Nicky Henderson's Bold Reaction.

  1. CELTIC NED (IRE)
  2. GYLLEN (USA)
  3. WOT YOU WEARING (IRE)
