Celtic Motif
MEDIUM Advised 7/4 Est. 42%
Mr Fox says
Celtic Motif (SR 101, 7/4) is the clear standout in what is a modest field. The Joseph Patrick O'Brien yard has flagged this as their #1 runner — they've booked J M Sheridan (12% strike rate) over the yard's star recruit Dylan Browne McMonagle who takes the ride on stablemate Felix Guido, and crucially Celtic Motif has been backed from the opening market to a 44% shorter price, a dramatic steam that demands respect. The form line 202-31 reads beautifully for today: a recent third followed by a win last time out (rightmost figure = 1), confirming peak form. The -2 mark drop since last win adds further appeal, and at 9-11 it carries less than top-weights Benevento and Rahmi who both carry 9-12 with far weaker credentials. Each-way alternative: God Of Power. Main danger: Rahmi — Rahmi (SR 99, 3/1) is running off a mark 3lb lower than its last win (MarkMv:-3), carries the same weight as Benevento at 9-12, and J P Murtagh's yard at 11% strike rate over 634 runners is a credible handler — if the form figure of 6 last time out was a blip on unsuitable ground or trip, a bounce-back here at a fair price is possible.
