Nedzor 6/1, 1pt each-way (3 places)
This is quite a poor race and so it could be that Henry Oliver's 7 year old Nedzor finally records his first victory. He's been knocking on the door of late in chases and now reverts back to hurdles over the intermediate trip for the first time. This looks the right trip and he's been steadily progressive of late. Ned Fox claims a handy 5 pounds and this is a very winnable race.

Celtic Art 9/2, 2pts win
This is probably just about the best race on Thursday afternoon and it's a pretty open affair. For all that, Celtic Art won over course and distance last time out and could well repeat the dose here. Jeremy Scott's admirable 9 year old has struck a bit of form and looks likely to go close again. He's not won off a mark this high before but clearly loves the test round here and it's worth noting that his form in January/February reads 1st, 3rd, 1st, 1st, 1st,1st.
