      Verdict

      CELTIC INTRIGUE can defy the penalty collected for a deserved success at Ffos Las as he doesn't seem to know how a run a bad race. Interpleader won at Towcester in April but couldn't follow up off a higher mark at Bangor and has gone up another 5lb since. It's more than three years since Gran Torino last got his head in front but Volio Vincente is a course and distance winner who showed a bit more at Warwick last time and River Dancing could bounce back at any time off his current mark.
