Verdict

Four of these come here off the back of recent victories with Ghazeer having Celestial Dawn just over a length-and-a-half behind at Warwick, though John Weymes' filly is 5lb better off here. Redcar winner Phoenix Clubs should handle the ground but possibly lacks the scope of Planetex and GOWANHARRY. The latter looks the one to be on here having done no more than was absolutely necessary to hold off Celestial Dawn on her handicap debut at Newcastle. She's 5lb better off with the runner-up here and also has the beating of Holy Angel and, as she's from a family that improves with racing, should have too much for Demora and the others.
