Verdict
None of these have won here apart from DI FEDE, who won this a year ago on soft ground. Her best run this season was in similar conditions so she can complete a double. Beauty Filly completed a double when landing a Chester Listed contest but failed to fire in a Chelmsford handicap last time. Excellent Times needs to step up after handicap victories at York and Thirsk while Tapisserie disappointed at this level at Pontefract last time. Miss Celestial's only two victories have been at Bath and Brighton and though Muchly won here in the spring that was on fast going in a maiden. Dandhu landed a Newbury Group 3 on her reappearance before a fair effort in the 1000 Guineas so she's an obvious threat if ready after a long break.
