This isn't the strongest of handicap chases and Celtic Legend must have a great chance off bottom weight, Schu Shine and Six Of One may offer most resistance. Keith Reveley's six-year-old is steadily growing with confidence and comfortably beat Helvetious at Musselburgh last time. It was a run-of-the-mill event beat he hardly broke sweat and could still be way ahead of the handicapper. Schu Shine has to be a big danger following a game victory in a conditional riders handicap last time. It was only his second outing of the season and there should be plenty more to come. Six Of One was better than these over hurdles and following two promising efforts over the larger obstacles should be ready to do himself justice. Brown Teddy could prove best of the remainder, but Celtic Legend is in good heart and can take this prize back to the north.
