BLUE CELESTIAL is well handicapped on the form she showed when runner-up over C&D in May and is given one more chance. Sports Day has proved expensive to follow but there have been excuses the last twice and he's well drawn under Tom Marquand. Tony Carroll's new recruit Thestral has shown he can be competitive from his mark in recent months. Roi de Coeur is a handicap newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.
