      Verdict

      Celestial Bay has obvious claims having been beaten only a head over course and distance last time with Salient and Eurato behind. She should go close but RUZEIZ is just preferred. A winner when trained in France, he started life in this country off a 15lb higher mark and looks set to take advantage after finishing third at Kempton on his latest start. Rowan Ridge returns to action off a winning mark if his apprentice rider's claim is taken into account and Darting may figure having slipped down the weights of late.
