Celtic Art¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: P & O Cole| OR: 91

1/4

Runner-up on his last two starts, here and then in the valuable Convivial Maiden Stakes at York, when beaten a neck by Molatham. That is very strong form for this level, and he will be hard to beat.

Form: 022

Montanari⁷³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

11/4

Son of Sea The Moon who faced a very stiff task on debut in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot. Well beaten there, but folly to judge him based on that run alone.

Form: 0

(4)

Margaretha³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: Miss A Murphy

40/1

Inexpensive Dawn Approach half-sister to useful two-year-old 6f/6½f winner Stay Classy. Well beaten seventh of 10 in a 7½f novice at Lingfield last month, and makes limited appeal on that evidence.

Form: 7

Non-Runners

(3)

Maori Knight⁴⁶

Weight: 9-5| Age: 2

T: R Hughes J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Celtic Art (1/4), Maori Knight (7/4), Montanari (11/4), Margaretha (40/1)

CELTIC ART is hard to oppose having been beaten only narrowly in the Convivial, traditionally one of the hottest maidens of the year, and he should be too good for Maori Knight and Montanari if running to the same level.
