Formscan  - Sam Thomas looks to have an ideal candidate in the shape of CELTIC DINO, who was last seen finishing third in a handicap hurdle at Aintree in April. A winner of two of his five starts in this sphere last season, the six-year-old remains open to plenty of improvement and is preferred to Tutti Quanti, who progressed from a respectable effort in the Supreme to score easily at Ffos Las in April. Runner-up in a Listed handicap hurdle at the Punchestown Festival, Wilful completes the shortlist with Listentoyourheart.
