Verdict

LUNAR DEITY scored over track and trip last time under a good ride from today’s apprentice. He ran down Creek Harbour in the closing stages with Channel Packet further behind and can confirm running, despite worse terms. Ambient has been thereabouts of late but no wins in 20 attempts dampens enthusiasm while Philamundo ran a shocker at Lingfield last time having won here before that. Zodiakos has been in the mix since scoring at Southwell in November but Titan Goddess is preferred having gone close last time and winning off a higher mark here at this time last year.
