Deacs Delight is a course and distance winner who will be saddled by the formidable Paul and Oliver Cole, with Hector Crouch getting the ride.
There's no escaping this is a very promising course and distance winner who followed that up with a second-place finish at Bath and only came fifth when hampered at Chepstow.
However, the price is a little bit short and this is a competitive race with Major Gatsby, Proud Fairy and Optiva Star all likely to threaten the frame.

Major Gatsby is a well-handicapped distance winner who looked good at Lingfield last time out but just needs to pace himself a little bit better.
Optiva Star has been tested over a variety of distances this season but looks to be settling in at seven furlongs.
He was fourth of eight at Epsom last time out after failing to show enough speed over five furlongs at Salisbury and this will be a first back-to-back over this distance.
The positive run at Epsom came after a 54-day break and improvement is considered likely as he dons the hood for the first time.
Suggested bet: Optiva Star to win the 17:40 at Lingfield
