Thursday the 13th of June...

20.00 Leopardstown: Celtic Dane @ 10/1 Bet365 - 1pt win + Carenza @ 14/1 Betfair - 1pt win

Celtic Dane was massively eye-catching a couple of weeks ago in a Handicap at Leoparstown on his seasonal reappearance, travelling well in rear, making a big move on the outside from 4f out but had to turn widest of all as a result which costs ground and energy. He appeared to have a lot to offer in the home straight but wasn’t all questions asked yet ran on well under a light hands and heels ride. He should be fitter with this run under his belt, no doubt, and he looks very dangerously handicapped now, being 24lb below his last winning mark. Big run expected here, with conditions to suit, there’ll be a bit of cut in the ground after loads of rain in the last 24 hours here in Dublin and he goes well enough on that sort of ground.

Carenza is a likely improver and could be ahead of her opening mark. She was very unlucky on her handicap debut last week at Fairyhouse when she travelled well in rear, tried to make ground on the inside turning for home but got there no run whatsoever, getting hampered with a wall of horses in front of her nose. She got a bit of room late and ran on well suggesting she has a bit of talent. Decent apprentice booked as well. Not sure about the ground, but well worth a try.
