Celsius (2/1), City Walk (2/1), Grandfather Tom (8/1), Concierge (17/2), Kodiak Attack (10/1), Ishvara (14/1), Coronation Cottage (14/1)

CITY WALK blew apart a 5.7f handicap at this venue a month ago and this unexposed sprinter can shrug off a 10 lb rise. Celsius was disappointing at Goodwood but is back in calmer waters now, with Ishvara another to consider.
