      Verdict

      CELESTIAL DANCER was an ordinary all-weather maiden on the Flat and beaten more than 20 lengths on her hurdling debut at Wetherby but she still wouldn’t need to improve much on that to beat disappointing rivals. Marienstar won a point-to-point in Ireland but is having her first run for Alex Dunn. Approaching Star has an absence to overcome while Queen Of Epirus is 0-21 in her career, though was second in a handicap on soft going at Taunton last time.
