The recent form tells a story of inconsistency. In the last six outings, Celtic Spirit has managed two places — a second and another second — but has also been beaten badly, finishing 14th on one occasion. Most worryingly, there's been no win in sight for the past six races, and the horse raced just a day ago without changing that pattern. Trainer Karen Jewell, based in Borden, Kent, will be hoping for better luck soon. Her yard has saddled three winners this season, so the infrastructure is there; Celtic Spirit simply needs to deliver.
When stepped up to Class 5 company — the kind of race where you'd expect a horse to be competitive — Celtic Spirit has been unable to win from three attempts. It remains to be seen whether the horse might find an easier opportunity at a lower level, or whether these early signs suggest it may simply not have the necessary pace or durability to win races. Either way, the clock is ticking for a breakthrough.
