Forecasts

Storm Valley (13/8), Control (15/8), No Diggity (4/1), Dee's Dream (11/2), Seraphia (7/1), Temur Khan (12/1), La Espanola (20/1), Sundowner (50/1), Last Roar (125/1)

CONTROL just failed here a week ago but can gain compensation off an unchanged mark and finally shed her maiden tag. Storm Valley wasn't seen to best effect when fifth at Windsor last time and rates the chief threat ahead of C&D scorer No Diggity and Yarmouth-third Dee's Dream.
