In depth
Verdict
Lucia Joy ran a shocker here a couple of days ago having landed maiden at Thirsk earlier. Celtic Empress will be sharper for a recent run and a hood is reapplied while AUNT BETHANY should also have come on for last week’s reappearance and handicap debut at Nottingham. The latter faded out of contention on that occasion but will likely get a good tow round from the front-running Madame Bonbon in this. Miss Harmony is upped in trip making her handicap bow and seasonal debut.
