Race preview
Successful over course and distance last month, CELTIC DRUID can make it back-to-back wins. Tom McCourt's five-year-old gelding was well on top at the finish and has to again hold strong claims off just 5lb higher. Sadhbh Tormey, who was in the saddle for that latest win, retains the ride and claims a valuable 7lb. Sarmiento Power landed a gamble at this track in September but has failed to add to that win in five subsequent starts. With plenty in his favour on this occasion, the Matthew Smith-trained gelding looks one of the more likely winners. Jawhary is another former course and distance winner with every chance.
