Verdict

Expect Canterbury Jack to be long odds-on for this contest so the value bet could be to find the runner-up for the forecast. None of the three make much appeal but TEAMtalk preference is given to Celtic Song who ran well behind some decent sorts in his 'bumper' days and has the assistance of Mick Fitzgerald on board here. Although he fell on his only jumping experience the fact his trainer has persisted with him suggests he could be a useful sort. Killy Beach has been unfancied on all his poor runs to date while Turn The Tide can at least boast finishing in a jumps contest.
