The Mighty Celt
The Mighty Celt has had a quiet start to life in British racing, but there may be more to come. The four-year-old has not found the winning post in five races so far, though he did pick up a place finish, and his recent form shows he is holding his own in competitive company — his last five runs have included a third-place finish and four races where he finished between sixth and eighth.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What makes him interesting is his pedigree on paper. He earned a decent rating in France before joining Dan Skelton's powerful Alcester yard, which has already sent out 198 winners this season. On his first outing for Skelton just over a week ago, The Mighty Celt ran third, and the trainer believes the horse has genuine potential if conditions align. Skelton reckons a race run at a strong pace will suit him — the kind of gallop that plays to his strengths rather than asking him to come from off the pace. For now, he remains a work in progress, but he is clearly still being tried in the right races by a yard that knows how to place horses to win. Whether he can break his duck remains to be seen, but his current the yard are far from giving up on him.
