In depth

Verdict

No form at all to go on for this three-year-old bumper and so the market will prove invaluable however Keith Reveley has booked the services of Tony McCoy for Celtic Realm and we will take the hint, Jabo and Mahogany Blaze are two others to keep an eye on. The selection is owned by Peter Savill who also bought his sire Celtic Swing. He cost 20 thousand guineas as a yearling and is related to national hunt and flat winners. He should know his job first time out and gets a tentative vote. Jabo is trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies who does well in this sphere. He doesn't look anything special on pedigree but should be monitored closely in the betting. Mahogany Blaze looks the stable's second string on jockey bookings but does appear to have the better pedigree being by Derby winner Kahyasi. Camerons Future is another that catches the eye on breeding, but in a bit of a lottery we will side with Celtic Realm.
