    Race Analysis

    CELTIC DRUID (9) got off the mark on the all-weather last time winning by 1. 5L here five weeks ago. Needs to back that performance up in a deeper race here but hard to dismiss. DESERT FRIEND (12) was keen when staying on strongly contesting a 1m2f event here a fortnight ago. If coping with the drop back in trip could take plenty of beating. John McConnell is doubly represented with SLOWDOWNBARNEY (2) looking to bounce back after proving a disappointing favourite behind the second mentioned last time. Worth giving another chance. Stablemate FINE PRINT (3) warrants respect revisiting all-weather having won twice in the past.
