Verdict

CELESTIAL FORCE was a fair third over a longer trip at Sandown after winning at Beverley. Well regarded last year, he’s come right back to his best lately and shouldn’t be far away in this. Glasses Up is interesting but the Ayr specialist still has plenty to prove over trips in excess of 1m2f. Medalla De Oro has only been raised 3lb for winning at Chester and Bollin Joan is 4lb higher than when beating a small field at Doncaster but she does have a good strike-rate so is probably a better bet than stablemate Appointed. Rake's Progress should also give a good account and Statuario looked to be coming to hand last month but Philip Kirby’s pair, Lady Camelot and December Second, are facing a stiff task at the head of the weights.
