Notched a fourth win of the year (3-3 under the returning Rossa Ryan) at Wolverhampton (6f) in May. Belatedly confirmed her effectiveness on turf when 1¼ lengths fourth (third won since) in a slightly better race at Windsor (good to firm) last time. Good claims if handling contrasting conditions.

4/1
Consistent, front-running filly. Won a soft-ground Catterick maiden on final start for Robert Cowell. Split a trio of next-time-out winners on stable debut before chasing home one on the up at Nottingham last month. Makes appeal following creditable 4½-length fourth in a better C&D event latest.

Gained reward for his consistency when off the mark for the season over C&D last month. Hasn't built on that in 2 starts since, however, he handles conditions and cannot be discounted if perked up by a change of headgear.

18/1
C&D winner who was back to her best when successful from a 4 lb lower mark at Lingfield (6f) in June. Excuses 2 of her 3 starts since, and she's a player if on a going day.

5/2
A 7-time course winner who is 3 lb lower than when notching a fourth C&D success (heavy) this time last year. However, she's been operating below her best in recent starts, again finishing a well-held third here on Saturday.

Hasn't kicked on from her successful stable debut at Bath (6f) in May. Still relatively lightly raced, though, and now 2 lb below that winning mark.

Veteran 3-time C&D winner whose latest success came in this corresponding event 12 months ago. He's 6 lb lower now and was only beaten by an improver when runner-up here (6f) last time.

Forecasts

Level Up (5/2), Connie's Rose (5/2), Control Room (4/1), Magna (11/2), Some Nightmare (7/1), Double Naughty (16/1), Savannah Smiles (18/1)

Verdict

MAGNA could be the answer to a tricky sprint puzzle. Control Room's sole previous success came on soft ground, and she's feared if the worst of the rain arrives. Last year's winner Some Nightmare also needs considering.
