CELTIC WARRIOR is handily berthed in stall 2 and might prove the answer to this useful 3-y-o handicap. Never So Brave bumped into subsequent Group 1 winners on both starts last year and won easily on his Thirsk return so he appeals as likely to make his mark in some good handicaps for the Sir Michael Stoute yard and is second choice ahead of Grey Cuban.
