Celtic Vision confirmed the merit of previous promise when an impressive winner over this trip at Southwell earlier in the month and is handed the TEAMtalk vote to defy a 7lb penalty. Jonjo O'Neill's charge scored with any amount in hand having jumped well throughout before displaying a fine turn of foot and, with further improvement to come, looks sure to take plenty of beating. Alastaboy made a highly encouraging debut when a staying-on third in an above average Sandown bumper recently and is an interesting prospect while King Bee appreciated better ground when causing an upset at Ascot last time. With ground conditions to suit, the Henry Daly-trained gelding rates the main danger although newcomer Longshanks makes some appeal on breeding and should be noted in the market.
