Verdict

Ebony Boom sets the standard on his two-year-old form but with questions to be answered in regards to whether he's trained on we instead go for CELTIC COMMITMENT after his pleasing run last month while Ipswich Lad will also need watching. Despite looking exposed in this company we've gone for the pick based on his first run for over a year our when he found just the one to good. That was the best we've seen from him since his juvenile days and he will have race sharpness on his side. Ebony Boom is the highest rated of these after showing a progressive run of form as a two-year-old. This top yard should have brought him on again but until we seen that we will hang fire. Same applies to Ipswich lad who will be aided by an in-form jockey in the plate while Marrimeclaire should come on from a solid debut. Milnagavie is from a top stable so shouldn't be ruled out but with race fitness to call on we just prefer Celtic Commitment.
