    Verdict

    The form of Celtique's latest start has a solid feel to it and she is readily preferred to Angel Rays and Creme De La Creme, who make the most appeal out of those with previous experience, while Irreversible is a newcomer to note in the betting. The last named hails from a yard that are notoriously patient with their juveniles and, although a positive move cannot be dismissed lightly, John Gosden is unlikely to be disappointed if she finishes in the frame and she is probably best viewed with an eye for future reference today. Creme De La Creme ran well without ever threatening the leaders on her debut, but should have come on for what was a quiet introduction to racing. However, the drop in trip does not really appear to be ideal on pedigree and she may also be best watched this afternoon. Angel Rays has course and distance experience that has received a boost this week. However, she has plenty of improvement to find if she is to master Celtique off level weights and this looks all set to be another one for the Sir Michael Stoute and Robert Winston partnership if this daughter of Celtic Swing has strengthen up since we last saw her in action.
