CELESTIAL DAWN and Oakbrook arrive in top form and it's the former who gets the vote with Jason Hart's claim a major bonus. John Weymes' filly took advantage of a furious pace to come through and score over the C&D last week and with several of these probably better over 5f the pace is likely to be strong again and her penalty is virtually wiped out by her rider's claim. Windygoul Lad and Rock Canyon were behind and look held but Oakbrook has been going well and handles the ground despite his lone success coming on fast going. Noble Bounty showed ability at Southwell and makes his handicap debut in this lowly grade while Lollypop Lady made a promising handicap debut over 5f here last week and has plenty of scope to do better.
