In depth

Verdict

A winner at Redcar, CELESTIAL QUEEN found one too good at Ripon last time. But there was some cut in the ground on that occasion and she gets another chance back on today’s faster surface. Canoodled was beaten less than a length at Nottingham recently while Florence Street ran better than her finishing position at Newmarket suggests on her handicap debut. Several go handicapping for the first time with Sunset Memory boasting stronger form than the likes of American Anthem and Queen Of Zabeel.
