CELTIC CHAMPION has been absent since February but he impressed when doubling his career tally at Lingfield on that occasion and, appealing as being on a handy mark returned to turf, Andrew Balding's 3-y-o remains one to be positive about. Magical Max belatedly cashed in on his much-reduced mark over 7f here in June and he can also figure with a 56-day break no problem. Low-mileage Divine Libra, Silver Samurai and last year's winner Strike complete the shortlist.
