Formscan  - It's hard to ignore the claims of CELTIC ART, who readily made it two wins from his last three outings over 2m3f here last month. The nine-year-old does take a drop in trip but that is unlikely to prevent him from continuing his brilliant form. Jack Hyde produced a good effort when runner-up at Cheltenham in November and has since undergone wind surgery, so he is one to keep an eye on. Brentford Hope and Aurigny Mill are others to consider.
