CELTIC CHAMPION had disappointed when well fancied on his AW debut but put that effort well behind him with a much-improved performance at Lingfield last month, overcoming the run of the race to score with a bit in hand, and he can defy a 3lb rise Danger Alert was a good second behind the selection that day and is feared again now 2lb better off, while Amy Santiago and The X O have more potential than most in this field.
