Victorious by 1L in a novice event over an extended 7f at Lingfield (good-to-firm) early last month. Drops in grade here having finished 5½L fifth in a six runner Listed race at Salisbury (good) later that month.
Good second in a 1m maiden at Carlisle (good-to-soft) when debuting earlier this month. Beaten 4L when fourth at Redcar (7f, good) subsequently and step back up in trip is no inconvenience.
Sighs of ability when finishing 5L seventh in a 1m novice race at Salisbury (good) when debuting at the start of this month. Improvement likely and is of interest for a stable with a 22% strike-rate (8/36) in recent weeks.
Well beaten 10L eighth of ten in a 1m novice contest at Ffos Las (good) just over a fortnight ago. More needed if he's to take this event.
Failed to figure when finishing eighth in a 7f maiden at Ascot (good-to-firm) on debut earlier this month. Hood worn that day is retained.
Unraced son of Midnight Legend and a half-brother to a number of Flat winners. Likely to be better over further in time.
Fair effort in finishing 8¼L sixth in a novice race over this trip at Ffos Las (good) on debut a fortnight ago. More needed on this occasion.
Caught the eye when finishing 6L sixth in a 1m novice event at Sandown (good) on debut earlier this month. Likely to have improved for the experience.
Returned from a break with a fourth in a 1m novice race on the AW at Kempton just over three weeks ago. Cheekpieces tried for the first time in this contest.
Failed to figure in two starts so far most recently when 22L sixth in a 5f novice contest at Chepstow (good) at the start of this month. Probably best watched upped markedly in distance.
Promising fourth in a 7f novice event at Lingfield (good-to-firm) when making her debut a month ago. Shaped as if this step up in distance would suit.
Well beaten fifth of six in a 7f novice race at Newmarket (good-to-firm) when debuting in July. Given a break since and interesting to see how she fares stepping up in trip.
Unraced Gleneagles filly and a half-sister to dual winning two-year-old Nivaldo. Well drawn here and market support would be notable on racecourse debut.
Forecasts
Damage Control (9/4), Passing Fashion (3/1), Surrey Pride (4/1), Bentley Wood (5/1), Molinari (12/1), Vulcan (14/1), So I Told You (20/1), Sea Of Marmoon (25/1), Midnights Legacy (33/1), High Shine (33/1), Grinling (40/1), Derek Le Grand (66/1), Erika (100/1)
DAMAGE CONTROL showed promise on debut and representing a stable in form he can get off the mark at the second time of asking in this novice event. The selection can see off his 12 rivals here with Bentley Wood capable of finishing runner-up with this step back up in trip a positive while third place can go to Passing Fashion, the only previous winner in the field who contested a Listed event last time out.

- Bentley Wood
