      Verdict

      Green Howard hasn't won for a very long time but was racing from a 24lb higher mark at the beginning of last season. RUSTIQUE can take this as she is just 1lb higher than when scoring here in August and was only just touched off in similar grade on a return visit last month when Tommy's Secret was behind. Hold Firm is much better on the all-weather but Lunar Deity has managed to win 10 races and it would be no shock to see him turn up again. The veteran Jonnie Skull has won 21 times after over 200 runs but is now on his lowest ever mark thanks to a long losing run.
