CELESTIAL FLIGHT built on his debut fifth at Beverley when showing a gritty attitude to get off the mark in a York seller last month.

The son of Harry Angel begins life in nurseries off what appears to be a fair mark of 66 and he shades the vote from Kandy House, who has run with some promise to date and is open to further improvement. Mistress Teite and Keep Warm appeal most of the remainder.

14:45 - Star Ahoy

STAR AHOY has looked to be a work in progress on his three starts to date, with his best effort coming on his latest outing when third at Newmarket, and it would be no surprise to see him improve for stepping up in trip.

Jumeirah King makes his UK debut following some promising displays in France, while Iron Lion and Break Point are others for the shortlist.

15:20 - Purplepay

PURPLEPAY struggled to get competitive in a couple of Australian Group 1's in the spring but William Haggas's filly, who was a Group 2 winner in France last year, has been found an excellent opportunity to get her career back on track.

Fall In Love also boasts some smart form, including when fifth in the Prix de Diane, and may benefit from a change of scenery on her first run for Roger Varian.

Al Agaila, Espressoo and Dha Leath can fight it out for the minor honours.

15:55 - Aleezdancer

Admirable veteran Summerghand has been cut some slack by the handicapper and is a threat to all on these terms.

However, this season's form suggests that ALEEZDANCER might have an edge now he is back on turf and with first-time blinkers applied and Curtis Wilson-Ruddock claiming 7lb, he is taken to bounce back from a modest effort at Newcastle.

Bay Breeze and the first-time-visored Aphelios complete the shortlist.

16:30 - Where's Jeff

Spritzin' has to be noted in the betting as she steps up in trip and is introduced to turf/handicaps off a workable mark.

Her yard remains in good form and she looks like another likely improver setting out to test Sir Mark Prescott's tried-and-trusted formula.

However, there may be more value in siding with WHERE'S JEFF, who remains on a handy rating and has more proven form on this type of stamina-sapping course. Big Cheese is also considered.

17:05 - Hi Clare

HI CLARE continues to progress well and has a lot going for her as she bids to repeat last month's C&D success off just 2lb higher.

The Charlie Johnston-trained filly, who found only one too strong at Bath subsequently, is versatile regarding the ground and is a prime candidate here.

Do I Dream returned from a short break with a decent effort at Carlisle and has more to offer, while Cassy O is dangerously well handicapped on his best form.
