      Verdict

      Starbound landed the odds in a weak maiden at Brighton last time and her second at Wolverhampton before that is actually stronger form. However, CELESTYNA was unfancied when scoring at Folkestone last month under today's apprentice, but she won a shade cosily as it turned out and Sir Henry Cecil's filly is taken to make a winning handicap debut. Swift Bird was a couple of lengths behind the selection last time, while Lucy Limelites and Empress Charlotte need to find a bit more off their current marks to figure in this. Beyeh is dropped in class and could prove a bigger threat.
