CELTIC DANCER (NAP) has been to this track three times and won twice, both times over slightly shorter. He's up 7lb for his latest victory and should go close again so gets the vote. Shake The Bucket has managed to win 15 races in a long career, mostly on the all-weather but also over hurdles and fences. He won a handicap chase here in May but was well beaten when reverting to hurdles off a much lower mark last time. Milomynit has only ever run well at Downpatrick having just been touched off there last month while Muroor also goes well in the north having gained his only two victories on the track. Vic's Little Miss ran a bit better at Sligo but needs to do more.
