Keltic Lord runs under penalty for winning over this trip here last time with Rash Moment three lengths behind in second in that race. The latter may be able to reverse the result with a greater advantage in the weights. Buailteoir may be a little high in the weights to challenge as well despite having won here last month, but ICE WARRIOR showed a lot of promise to finish right behind Massini Man at Newton Abbot on his first outing for Milton Harris. If the trainer can bring out even more from the former Tom Taaffe runner then he should open his account on English soil, having won twice in Ireland previously.
