In depth
Verdict
Phoenix Star won twice here last month. LADY CELIA was only third on the first occasion but she’s improved since and won herself here earlier this month so a form reversal may be on the cards. Blazing Hot was just beaten at Pontefract having a first run for a new yard and has every chance if transferring that form back to the all-weather. Azucena disappoints more often than not but is one of seven previous course and distance winners in the line-up.
