Successful over 2m4f here in January, Celma Des Bois is back in the right grade after pulling up at Chepstow. Dawn Raider won well in a better race at Carlisle last week and should go close again here, despite a penalty, while Elmdale may still be improving. Having a first run over fences, winning pointer FOR FITZ SAKE didn’t quite last home over 3m at Market Rasen. This intermediate distance may suit him better and he is 4lb lower.
