DEIRA SURPRISE opened her account with a victory over track and trip last month and the runner-up has subsequently boosted the form by winning. She’s preferred to Lingfield winner Black Medick with the latter stepping up a grade while Lady Cosette came up short once again in novice company last time. Nefarious could figure if staying the extra furlong on his handicap debut while Times Past has placed in both starts since scoring at Southwell and makes more appeal than Facethepuck.
