Race preview
Top-weight CELTIC REVIVAL may be able to overcome that burden under leading apprentice James Ryan. The Eddie Lynam-trained gelding won twice under Ryan at this track last winter and shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up here on his penultimate start. Ridden by Ben Coen on that occasion, he races off 5lb lower now once taking Ryan's claim into account. C&D winner Golden Sandbanks has been in fine form of late, winning over hurdles at Sligo and on the Flat at Galway. Despite his wide draw in stall 14, the Paul Flynn-trained six-year-old is capable of a big run. Union Flag has been gradually getting the hang of things since switching to handicap company, and there was plenty to like about his staying-on third over 10 furlongs here last week.
