RACING POST VERDICT
Celeron arrives at the Curragh on a progressive profile that makes him more appealing than his third-place rating suggests, and on good-to-firm ground over six furlongs he has every chance of running past the higher-rated pair above him. Carry The Flag heads the field on ratings and cannot be dismissed, while Sun Goddess and Tribeca both represent live threats in what looks a competitive Class 1 sprint. That said, a horse still moving through the gears offers the most compelling case when the form of those above him may be more exposed. **Celeron** is our selection.
