The veteran LUNAR DEITY has been in fine form this year and won twice on the all-weather including his latest outing at Lingfield. Allowed to race off a 7lb lower mark back on this surface, Stuart Williams’ charge gets the nod given the modest recent form of today’s opposition. With Approval won at Kempton in January and has won over course and distance before along with Junoesque and Duke Of North with the latter preferred off his current mark. Zephyros is back on a winning mark and first-time blinkers may see him finish closer today.
