Verdict
The market will prove the best guide to the opener but in the absence of that vital information, WAVEBAND is the recommendation ahead of Tarita and Memory And Magic. Mark Johnston's filly is related to plenty of winning sprinters and she did not do too much wrong at Epsom on her most recent start. A perusal of her third to Roodle at Chepstow looks particularly special in the context of this affair and we take her to break her maiden tag. Richard Hannon's Tarita was notably weak in the on-course market ahead of her most recent visit to Sandown and ran accordingly. The market may tell all again. Memory And Magic was apparently unfancied on debut at Folkestone though gave the favourite a severe fright. She is related to a number of smart seven-furlong performers. La Fortunata will be the benchmark that the assessor will use for handicapping purposes. She was somewhat disappointing in a muddling affair at Bath and now has it to prove. Excellent Day and Admirable Duchess showed improved form on their second outings and could be capable of more. The remainder look ordinary at best. Waveband has plenty in her favour and should be up to taking a prize of this nature.
