Verdict

Rachel Richardson has produced KING OF THE CELTS with well-timed runs to complete a double at Beverley and Tim Easterby's charge is still well enough handicapped to go in again. The beautifully-bred and expensive Lilian Baylis makes her handicap debut after the three requisite maiden runs and could be thrown in off a mark of 74 while another lightly-raced filly, Pamushana, won't need to make much progress to get involved. Mediate was beaten a very long way at Carlisle on Saturday but Monsea would have a chnce of reversing form with the selection on his last run at Beverley at the revised weights
