Verdict
CELSIUS won here in 2020 and was scoring for the first time since when successful at Ascot on last month’s reappearance. He’s been raised 5lb but remains on a winning mark and can go close again. Sound Reason and Modular Magic will be sharper for recent comebacks with the latter preferred having been narrowly beaten at Thirsk while Never Dark and Wrenthorpe also have a shout on their return to action. Sampers Seven has the past form to figure at this level though has been off the track since 2020.
