A fascinating contest here, and Celtic Mill could be the one to be on, with Lady Boxer and Percy Douglas seen as the main threats. Celtic Mill hasn't been over exerted this campaign, but has put up some sterling performances in much better company, including a class B handicap success at Hamilton back in July. Lady Boxer appears to have gone off the boil this season, but does boast some terrific efforts in decent handicaps in 2002, and if returning to that sort of form could be in with a shout. Percy Douglas reached a rating of 91 in his two year old days, but hasn't shown the same sparkle this term, however as with Lady Boxer, if he returns to his best he would have an outstanding chance. The others look up against it on official ratings, so we will side with Celtic Mill who can grind out another success.
