In depth
Verdict
Celtic Joy was placed twice at the start of the year and should be winning soon. The Accountant has had a run on the Flat since winning at Worcester in August but Manor Park needs to bounce back from a poor run at Newton Abbot and Onboard was raised 4lb for finishing second at the same track last month. TOMMY HALLINAN has been going well on the level and is potentially well treated making his handicap debut over timber having shown ability for Paul Nicholls last year. Irish import Chapati placed twice at Bangor in August but still needs more.
