        Verdict

        Celestial Point has winning form over a shorter trip here and Point Louise is unexposed over today’s distance. Victory Star makes the long journey down from North Yorkshire and should be noted while Thunderoad recorded his only win on Turf so far over track and trip but JUNOESQUE has won six times here including a course and distance double last summer. She’ll be sharper for a recent comeback run and John Gallagher’s mare gets the vote.
