KING OF THE CELTS is impossible to oppose but his price will reflect the fact. Tim Easterby's charge has been placed on all six starts in maidens and can finally get off the mark in this company as he's streets clear of December and Good Faith on official ratings. Jersey Joe, Rosie Raymond and Tasman Tiger have shown little in bumpers or on the Flat though the latter may do better for today's step up in trip.
