Verdict
Caribou can figure with normal progress having finished runner-up at Bath on his debut. Lockdown Latchico went close at Lingfield earlier but disappointed at Wolverhampton last time while Hot Diva showed major improvement when second over 5f at Sandown and is preferred to Sea Of Charm. Dusky Lord and Expert Opinion are newcomers to note but LEXINGTON LIBERTY is a full-sister to a winning sprinter and a half-sister to another and gets the vote with Ryan Moore on board for her debut.
