The veteran Lunar Deity has won five times around here in a long career that has seen 15 victories. He ran very well at Chelmsford earlier this month and can never be dismissed. Black Medick dead-heated at Wolverhampton last month and wasn't beaten far on a return visit on Sunday. THE WARRIOR was in cracking form here in March, completing a double over the track and trip. He hasn't quite been in that kind of form lately but the assessor has given him another chance and he can go in again. Dreamboat Annie scored over 7f here in August though is having her 48th start and has never raced over a trip this far but Sonnetina is consistent at this level and should be thereabouts again.
