CELESTIAL GIRL won three times over today's trip last year. She's been placed in both starts over 1m4f so far this season and Hughie Morrison's filly gets the nod dropping back in distance. Today's distance is the question mark hovering over Two Certainties. He never figured in a couple of starts over 1m2f, before scoring over 5f and then following-up over a mile! We can be certain that's he still improving, however, so will probably be thereabouts. Byrd In Hand can figure with Harry Bentley's claim making his task easier, while Pennfield Pirate is not out of this on his reappearance.
