Lunar Deity²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: Milly Naseb⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 65| CD

5/1

Won this off 6lb lower last year but was below par over the C&D last time and off this current mark others are preferred.

Form: 90-2435

(4)

Confident Kid^h1⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: R Stephens| OR: 64

5/1

Now 14lb lower than when leaving Godolphin in 2016. Mixed form in France since and now hood applied on stable debut. Best watched unless significant support.

Form: 3230-00

(9)

Palmerston^v¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Sebastian Woods⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 64| D

15/2

Hasn't shown enough in five starts since leaving Michael Applebly and hard to enthuse over after latest two poor runs.

Form: 0-67597

(7)

Channel Packet¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 63

11/2

Nine-race maiden but best recent form has come on this type of ground. Potentially on a decent mark with progress to come on this drop in trip. Likely to be competitive.

Form: 894-820

(8)

Sussex Girl¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Shelley Birkett| T: John Berry| OR: 63| C

14/1

Finished last season with two wins over further but has resumed with two below par runs. Drop in distance and quick ground also look against her.

Form: 7311-04

(3)

De Vegas Kid⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62

5/2

Rapid improvement last twice with two impressive wins over shorter. Stays this trip and likely to be in the mix again off 5lb higher.

Form: 52-6211

(6)

Mime Dance^v⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Tim Clark| T: J Butler| OR: 62| D

12/1

Won over this distance on the AW in April but held off higher marks last twice. Probably too high in the weights back on turf.

Form: 0-65159

Cadeaux Boxer^h¹²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Charlie Bennett| T: L Carter| OR: 59

11/1

17-race maiden who can be overlooked following a poor run of form for some time including both starts this campaign.

Form: 4770-05

Caribbean Spring⁵

Weight: 9-2| Age: 5

T: G G Margarson J: Jane Elliott

Forecasts

Caribbean Spring (15/8), De Vegas Kid (5/2), Lunar Deity (5/1), Confident Kid (5/1), Channel Packet (11/2), Palmerston (15/2), Cadeaux Boxer (11/1), Mime Dance (12/1), Sussex Girl (14/1)

Caribbean Spring holds an engagement at Lingfield on Tuesday night so it's unknown whether he'll run here. It would be interesting to see if he could transfer his recent AW form to the turf. Channel Packet clearly prefers this quicker ground and a breakthrough win shouldn't be far away in these sort of conditions. DE VEGAS KID is flying at present and the handicapper may still not have caught up with him, particularly with the benefit of the jockey's claim.
