Verdict

CELESTIAS COMET was a comfortable winner over C&D in July and, though she flopped at Sandown next time, she could bounce back returned to this venue with the likely solid pace in her favour. Didaar is another to note returned to this C&D and could take a hand if his wide draw doesn't prove prohibitive, while veteran front-runner Garden Oasis is lurking on an attractive mark and could well make a bold bid from stall 2.

1	Won readily over C&D in early July, coming from off a solid gallop. Ran no sort of race when seventh of 10 in a handicap at Sandown later that month but off 64 days since and should again get a good tempo to chase so could bounce back. 1st Pick 1 Celestias Comet (Ire) Jockey: Jonny Peate Trainer: James Fanshawe J: Jonny Peate T: James Fanshawe	100	-	-	-	19%

6	Finally off the mark over C&D in July then backed that up with a third here later that month. Often races freely and didn't get home upped to 1½m at Newmarket 56 days ago and now returns to the scene of his win only 2 lb higher so is respected back at this trip. 2nd Pick 6 Didaar (Ire) Jockey: Jack Dace Trainer: Gihan Arnolda J: Jack Dace T: Gihan Arnolda	99	-	-	-	9%

7	Veteran who has produced several placed efforts this year and, though mainly racing over 1m nowadays, he has won at this trip before and is well berthed to employ his usual front-running tactics. Far from certain to get his own way in a field of this size, but he merits respect from easing mark. 3rd Pick 7 Garden Oasis Jockey: David Allan Trainer: Tim Easterby J: David Allan T: Tim Easterby	98	-	-	-	15%
