Celtic Dane delivers in style this time

CELTIC DANE, an unlucky fifth in the contest a year ago, made no mistake in the valuable Tote Mile EBF Handicap at a miserably wet and windy Galway last night.

Superbly handled by the talented Chris Hayes, the four-year-old challenged strongly on the up hill approach to the home turn.

In front before the bend, the son of Danetime soon asserted and showed no signs of flinching in the closing stages to beat She’s Our Mark by a cosy length and three parts.
