KING OF THE CELTS and Rachel Richardson has become a real standing dish around here having scored four times in just over a year. The combination landed a similar class handicap at the last meeting and with just 2lb extra to contend with will take some beating again. Mysterial set a strong gallop that day and only just failed to hold on so he looks a live threat. Yorkindred Spirit easily landed a Class 6 handicap on Newcastle's new Tapeta track on Saturday so it's no surprise to see him here under a penalty. The Wee Barra has only been raised 2lb for his recent victory at Hamilton and the extra quarter-mile won't be a problem while Ghostly Arc didn't handle soft ground at Ayr after landing a Musselburgh maiden in fast conditions.
