2/1
Previous C&D winner who just failed to add to tally here last month, going down in a head bobber. Up 2lb but should go well again.

7/1
Well-placed to win three times on the AW this year (all over 1m), though it looked as though the handicapper may have just reeled him in on the evidence of his latest effort. No margin for error but dangerous to dismiss in a race lacking depth.

11/4
Has scored here in the distant past (7f, good to firm) but it's now 15 races since he last won. Was fourth of ten here last time, beaten 9L, on ground that was probably too soft. This isn't strong and the likely going should suit much better.

9/4
Experienced campaigner, hasn't won for over a year but ran well enough here over 7f last month on return to turf off this mark to suggest he'll be a danger in what is not a strong race.

Three-time C&D winner has scored an impressive 19 career wins on the Flat (nine on turf) but recent signs suggest the best days are now behind him. Hard to fancy.

Verdict

LUNAR DEITY put up a good show over a shorter trip here last month on return to turf and might prove up to winning this weak looking contest now off the same mark. It's more than a year since he has scored but this may not take much more than he showed last time. Rustique looks a very obvious danger having gone agonisingly close to adding to his C&D tally last time out while Tommy's Secret should find this ground more to his liking and Hold Firm is also in the mix.
  1. Lunar Deity
  2. Rustique
  3. Hold Firm
