Verdict
Mori Yoshinari made a winning debut at Lingfield in February but ran poorly in a Nottingham handicap last month though that didn't look his form. Celestation ended her first campaign with a victory over 7f at Chester and made a very promising return over this trip at Pontefract when just failing to hold Melodic Motion. Mark Johnston's filly should make a bold bid but I'VEGOTTHEPOWER was impressive when making all over a mile here last week and a 6lb penalty doesn't look enough to prevent a follow up. Quloob showed some potential last term but was always more likely to do better in his second campaign while Eolian has switched yards and will be suited by the step-up in trip.
