In depth
Verdict
Celtic Boy was so impressive last time out that he has to be followed again this afternoon, Just In Debt and Dolmur are also expected to run well. Peter Bowen's eight-year-old just had to be pushed out hands and heals, to beat Russian Sky by six lengths in a competitive race at Hexham last month. He should be able to shrug off the penalty and abig run is expected. Just In Debt also ran at Kelso last time, finishing an excellent second behind Harlov. That was a much improved performance and he should be capable of going close this afternoon. Dolmur has similar claims having chased home Vic The Piler over a shorter trip at Hexham. The extra distance shouldn't be a problem and he could reach the frame at decent odds. Theboyfrombulowayo is another to consider for each-way purposes, but Celtic Boy looks set to land the winners purse.
