Celtic Flames and Sword Of Fate are both course and distance winners but the former isn’t getting any younger and the latter is better over fences nowadays. Though second over 2m here last time, Cliffs Of Dooneen weakened approaching the last over this trip earlier when unplaced behind WOLFSPEAR. Rose Dobbin’s charge is 6lb better off but will likely struggle to reverse the placings with the top weight.
