It's probably best to concentrate on the Gordon Elliott-trained contenders, with CELTIC ALLIANCE earning the vote, for all that she doesn't appear to be the stable first-string judged on jockey bookings. One To Witness should build on what he showed first time out at Naas and rates the main danger ahead of Dooks.
