      Verdict

      Castle Talbot returned to winning form over course and distance last time with a battling display and should go well again off a 4lb higher mark. Lunar Deity as also successful here last time and has hardly been touched by the handicapper for that victory. Another solid run is expected but preference is for TRULEE SCRUMPTIOUS who continues to win in her turn and arrives here on the back of satisfactory performances in slightly better races. Hopefully she'll not feel homesick as her last eight starts have all been at Newmarket where all six career successes have been achieved. Busy Street continues to deliver a consistent account and should so again. Tripartite sports a first-time visor now and Slow To Hand needs to be forgiven a major disappointment here last time.
