Sands Chorus went to Pontefract a week ago with what looked a favourite's chance and though narrowly beaten it was still a fine effort, though he could find this ground on the fast side. Exoplanet Blue is having her first start beyond 7f though she'll be suited by the fast ground while Green Howard has a course victory to his credit and looks to have dropped to a fair mark following a long losing run. Ryan Moore's presence on Justice Lass suggests she's ready to win again while Tom's Rock was having only his fifth start when scoring at Windsor and is only 3lb higher. Considering he won a Class 2 handicap at Lingfield in February off 95, LUNAR DEITY has dropped to an incredibly low mark. He showed a bit more dash at Leicester last time and, with Jamie Spencer replacing an apprentice, can get back to winning ways.
