Sun 3rd Aug

Formscan  - CELANDINE took on older sprinters in a Group 3 contest at York on her belated seasonal bow and finished a respectable third. Ed Walker's filly looks to have strong claims on today's terms, with a low draw also in her favour. Toyotomi is a Listed winner in France and is one to take seriously on only his second start for David O'Meara, while Ain't Nobody drops in class and could also get involved.
