In the 18.25 at Kempton tonight I think we can eek a trade from the 7 year old gelding Celtic Charlie. He's a consistent type both on the flat and over hurdles but on the flat he's traditionally run over shorter middle distances. Last time out he was stepped up to todays course & distance of 2 miles and after being held up through the early part of the race he made pleasing progress to be delivered with every chance as they turned for home. He was burned for speed by the eventual winner because it was a slowly run affair but he still traded around even money in running and finished 3rd. If there is a more honest gallop today he would become an interesting bet for win purposes at a nice price but as it is a good run should be enough to shorten his price up turning for home to get us a trade.
He's been available to trade as we would require in 6 of his last outings on the flat and regular jockey Ian Mongan returns today to take the ride. Hold up tactics were used to good effect last time out and will probably be used again however he can also be ridden prominently, either can be used to give him every chance and hopefully get us a trade.
Celtic Charlie can be backed for 2 points now at 12.0 at the books (stan james) and 12.0 on betfair. If you want 30% profit then lay off 2.6 points at 8.8 or if you want 50% profit then lay off 3.05 points at 7.6 to give you a 1 point all round green screen.
Best of luck
