Verdict
It’s impossible to have much faith in Celestial Path nowadays. Involve needs to up his game but is only a four-year-old. So is POET’S CHARM and he offered a glimmer of hope at Newton Abbot earlier this month having shown little previously. Scotsbrook Night has been placed the last twice and has the champion on board but Shaun Lycett’s mare is now 0-13. Hatem was placed at Southwell on his first run for Conor Dore but has reverted to type since.
