Hasn't won since October 2015 at Catterick (6f, soft), showed some promise on penultimate start at Newmarket and perhaps didn't relish quick ground since at Catterick. Hard to trust these days.

Dual winner on soft ground in the past including off this mark over C&D in May 2016. Hasn't run at all well in two starts for this yard either side of a break however and due some relief from the assessor.

Ended a 14-race winless sequence with all the way win over 5f at Leicester (good to soft) on Tuesday. Yet to win over this far but was going well enough there to merit consideration if turned out quickly again.

C&D winner in August on good to firm ground, making all the running to narrowly win amateur riders contest. Entitled to have needed run when fading on return to action here last month.

Filly scored quick double in August over this trip at Catterick and Leicester, latterly off mark of 66, appears to be at home on any ground and should find this distance more to her liking than the 5f she made her stable debut over last month at Newcastle on the AW.

Twice a course winner in three attempts, both at 5f. Disappointed on sole attempt over this trip at the track and was well below best in two runs earlier this spring. Should handle the ground no problem, lasting home may be a concern.

Nice-race maiden now and was 8L third of eight on seasonal reappearance over C&D last month. Needs a good deal more seemingly to get off the mark in this.

Yet to win on turf, was in fine fettle on the AW however when last spotted in the autumn winning at Wolverhampton over 7f off a mark of 65. Since left Richard Hannon to join this yard, may be best watched on reappearance.

C&D winner in 2014 but lightly raced since and well held in three starts on the AW this season. Beaten just 1L off a 16lb higher mark in a seven runner race over C&D in June 2015 but has some work to do now to get to that level of form.

Forecasts

Casterbridge (2/1), Love Oasis (11/2), Picks Pinta (6/1), Secret Missile (7/1), Control Centre (8/1), Roys Dream (11/1), Baron Run (12/1), Reckless Serenade (14/1), Lady Molly (16/1), Sir Domino (33/1)

Verdict

Control Centre was in decent form on the AW last autumn and is worth noting now debuting for a new yard in this contest, though he may well appreciate the run. Casterbridge ended a growing winless streak in good style at Leicester on Tuesday and, while yet to win over this far, would be respected if bidding for a quick follow up in what doesn't appear a deep contest. Secret Missile is getting no easier to predict but could play a hand while August's C&D winner Picks Pinta is also worth nothing in the betting. The nod goes to the filly ROYS DREAM, who scored twice over this trip in August and should be ripe for this having had a blast over 5f on the AW at Newcastle nine days ago.
