Keith Reveley has his string in fine order at present and can add to his recent haul with Celtic Legend, who may have the most to fear from Karo De Vindecy and Pavey Ark. The John Mackie-trained Pure Brief is also a threat at this level and is worth considering for a place at least if supported in the betting ring. Pavey Ark was unfortunate to come up against a most progressive rival at Windsor but still gave a good account of himself. He has bits and pieces of form that suggest that he can go well but his poor wins to runs ratio underlines the fact that he is not one to trust implicitly. Karo De Vindecy comes into the race in good heart and has to be respected now that he has strung a series of good efforts together. He is on a fair mark just now and can provide the selection with the most to think about. However, Celtic Legend looked to have been revitalised a wind operation when he scored at Wetherby earlier in the month and he should be kept on the right side whilst he is in good heart.
