Verdict
Kyber Crystal’s earlier win at Chepstow came on a fast surface but LADY CELIA has past form on soft ground. A recent comeback run at Carlisle should have blown away any cobwebs and she was winning off a higher mark last summer. Enchanted Night returns to her winning distance while Animist can also do better back over today’s minimum trip having led for a long way over 6f at Brighton last time.
