Reivers Moon may well be flattered by her proximity to useful winners Collier Hill and Liberman in her last two starts and, at forecast odds, looks worth taking on which we do with Celtic Blaze, who gets the verdict over County Classic. The last mentioned ran a race full of promise when fourth behind Doce Vida at Wetherby earlier this month and is entitled to be thereabouts again but preference is for Celtic Blaze, who lost no caste in defeat behind Robert Alner's Kadara in a decent handicap at Sandown last time off a mark of 101. A reproduction of that effort may suffice for Brian Rothwell's mare. Geri Roulette showed little sign of encouragement on her belated hurdling debut when behind County Classic at Wetherby. Similar comments apply to the John Weymes-trained Lapadar and of more interest may be Market Rasen bumper winner Direction but Celtic Blaze sets a decent standard and gets the nod.
