CELTIC STEP is a well made individual and if able to transfer Southwell form to the turf, he could be a key player at a big price. Casino Night is still attractively handicapped versus her earlier form and its no surprise that connections were keen to race her quickly under a penalty for a Hamilton success. Glenmuir had no chance when the bird, or more pertinently, Mason Hindmarsh, had flown at Pontefract. Nolecce won off a mark of 49 at the course though was been held off similar marks in the past. Bold Marc has bombed down the handicap over the last year or so though this has not been without very good reason. Hades tries a slower surface for the first time.
