Verdict
Sebastian's Wish is upped 8lb for winning over 1m6f here with Thorntoun Care and Jebulani behind. Mr Sundowner finished ahead of Mrs Biggs over today’s trip at Thirsk before they won respective divisions of the same apprentices’ handicap over 1m2f at Wetherby and both escape a penalty. Fillydelphia was behind Mr Sundowner at Wetherby though had finished ahead of Tred Softly at Catterick earlier but a speculative vote goes to CELTIC POWER, who has slid down the weights and should have come on for a recent comeback run at Hamilton where he faded badly in the closing stages.
