Mayfair Music beat Cannon Fodder in a Listed race at Doncaster in March and ran well for a long way on her reappearance over track and trip. Tempest River is frustrating but has ability and wouldn't be far away on her best form while Woodland Walk has place claims again. Molly's A Diva didn't really take to fences last time and will appreciate going back over the smaller obstacles but LAND OF VIC looked as though she was approaching peak fitness at Cheltenham and, though raised 2lb, could be good enough to reverse Wincanton running with Woodland Walk and Tempest River and open her seasonal account.
