CELTIC PRINCE hails from a yard in form and, though returning from a long break, looks to be reasonably well treated and gets the nod. The former Joseph O'Brien inmate Gold Factory should now be ready for this after running on well over 6f at Jebel Ali last week, with Rich And Famous and Honorable Justice behind, but One Vision ran poorly over 1m2f at the same fixture. The latter had won over this trip at Jebel Ali before, however, and finished a close second here earlier so should get into contention.
