Verdict

CELTIC STORM is shaping up well, appreciating the increase in trip and improving on his debut form when posting a good third at Kempton (1m) 16 days ago. He appeals as the type to go on progressing and can make a successful switch to turf under Billy Loughnane. Charmed Boy may emerge best of the newcomers, whilst Pen Lan Icon is another to note now her stamina is tested further.

3	Foaled April 25. €17,500 foal, €37,000 yearling, Harry Angel colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 1¼m-1½m winner Wonder Kid and winner up to 1¼m Bavardages.

8	Territories filly who showed more than first time up switched to turf when third in a Beverley maiden (7.3f, heavy) 3 weeks ago, looking suited by the emphasis on stamina. Step up to 1m a plus on that evidence and underfoot conditions will certainly hold no fears. 3rd Pick 8 Pen Lan Icon Jockey: William Pyle Trainer: David Loughnane J: William Pyle T: David Loughnane	89	-	-	-	10%
