Celestial Force (11/4), December Second (3/1), Medalla De Oro (3/1), Statuario (5/1), Glasses Up (11/2), Bollin Joan (8/1), Roar (10/1), Appointed (12/1), Rake's Progress (12/1), Point Taken (25/1), Great Hall (25/1), Shrewd (28/1), Moving Forward (33/1), Lady Camelot (40/1)

A host of horses stake solid claims in an open-looking handicap, but preference is for CELESTIAL FORCE, who wasn't disgraced behind a very smart-looking prospect at Ascot and is likely to relish a lesser stamina-sapping trip and track. Appointed has been running with great credit recently and must be considered a contender given the handicapper is still winning to give her a chance, while Medalla De Oro could be dangerous if given a soft lead but may be vulnerable at a track which doesn't play to her strengths.
