Verdict

Fifth in the 2,000 Guineas in 2015, CELESTIAL PATH had been disappointing over hurdles prior to making all at Worcester last week. If the blinkers work a second time, however, he has every chance of defying his penalty. The four-year-old Kiruna Peak looked as though her turn was near at Fontwell last month but Greenworldsolution has had plenty of chances and Edward Elgar has yet to win outside of selling company. Vive Le Roi and Innocent Girl would have every chance on their best form and look best of the rest.
