Verdict

BLUE CELESTIAL is well handicapped on the form she showed when runner-up over C&D in May and is given one more chance. Sports Day has proved expensive to follow but there have been excuses the last twice and he's well drawn under Tom Marquand. Tony Carroll's new recruit Thestral has shown he can be competitive from his mark in recent months. Roi de Coeur is a handicap newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.

    Winner of 7f novice at Newcastle in December. Blinkered when placed in handicaps at Lingfield (7f, all-weather) and Wetherby (1m) for Hugo Palmer in recent months. First-time cheekpieces the headgear of choice now setting out for Tony Carroll. Has to enter calculations.

    Showed plenty to work on when third in a newcomers race over 7f here last summer. Failed to build on that in 2 subsequent outings in the autumn but brings unexposed potential to handicap debut after 8 months off. Draw not ideal.

    Verdict
    Left qualifying form well behind when making a winning handicap debut at Leicester (1m) last October. Has failed to reproduce that level in 2 outings at Bath since, although he may have needed the run last time after 226 days off. All-weather debut.
