Lunar River has looked in the handicapper's grip since landing a double at Kempton in February, but C&D winner Ocean Of Peace may do better back here after three outings on turf. Abigails Angel has gone close at Kempton a couple of times but remains a maiden and one win in 67 outings doesn't inspire much confidence in Laconicos. ERMYNTRUDE won over a mile on Polytrack in February and a chance is taken that Pat Phelan's filly can improve on her previous efforts over today's trip and return to winning ways. Winning hurdler Aine's Delight makes most appeal of the remainder.
