Celestine Abbey landed a gamble here last month but paid the price with a 10lb rise and was well beaten at Lingfield last time when TOAST OF NEWBURY finished fifth. The latter makes more appeal than stablemate St Paul's Square and a gets a token vote in a poor handicap. Takahiro, Artist Cry, Closing Time and Indomitable Spirit are all lightly-raced and worth noting for any support in the betting but Pyrocumulus failed to cope with 9lb rise at Southwell last time having won at the same track before that.
