Formscan By Shane Redmond - CELTIC MOTIF (3) begins her second spell with trainer Joseph O'Brien after a four-race stint in America and looks the part under local hero Oisin Murphy. She had four starts for O'Brien as a two-year-old, running her best races when third in the Goffs Million and then third again (demoted to fourth) behind Whirl in the Group 3 Staffordstown Stud Stakes, both at the Curragh. Last seen when placed again at Tampa Bay Downs in January of this year, she's rated 92 and if running up to that mark is likely to be too strong for Glittering Gem who went off at short odds in each of her two races last season. Taj Crown could be third best.
