Tadpole will be all the better for her third at Lingfield. Callendula finally came good over course and distance earlier this month but Knight Music makes more appeal, despite a penalty, having dotted up at Kempton eight days ago. VOICE CONTROL has his first run for Laura Mongan but any improvement on his close-up third at Pontefract in June would put him bang in the picture here. Pensionnat and Etibaar were both second last time and can't be ruled out in a competitive little handicap.
