        Verdict

        This looks a tricky puzzle to solve with four previous C&D winner set to face the starter. A tentative vote goes to CELESTIAL GIRL, who was only beaten a short-head off this mark at the track in May and probably still needed her latest fourth at Lingfield. Out Of The Storm looks a big danger, however, if building on her first success here 11 days ago, though Golden Waters arguably has her measure on their run together in June. The ground may not be fast enough for Timocracy but Highlife Dancer can't be ignored after last week's Lingfield win, though does now carry a penalty for that success.
