      Verdict

      Celestial Bay ran way below par on her handicap debut at Newbury having picked up a maiden race at Warwick before that. LUNETTE made a much better showing on her handicap bow at Kempton when finding only one too good and she gets the vote to add to an earlier win at Salisbury. Hoppy's Flyer is usually thereabouts without being quite good enough but still makes most appeal of the remainder unless Cape Crossing is better than she's shown so far.
