Forecasts

Celtic Champion (5/4), Tenjin (11/4), Harry Brown (9/2), Colnago (15/2), Glorious Angel (14/1), Democracy Dilemma (25/1)

Verdict

Having opened his account at Salisbury in August, CELTIC CHAMPION ran well on nursery debut despite being caught wide at Chester. There's a bigger performance in him and he takes marginal preference over Harry Brown, who opened his account in cosy fashion at Chelmsford when last seen. Tenjin is another one to consider.
