Not a race to get overly enthused about and BASSARAD might provide the answer. The form of his chase debut looks solid enough and he should be able to improve a bit this time. Royals And Rebels needs to step up on his own debut run and supporters will hope that cheek pieces can do the trick, while both Celtic Park and Bacchanel should be considered. 1. Bassarabad 2. Royals And Rebels 3. Celtic Park
