Verdict

ANDREW'S MEMORY (6) is yet to break through this campaign but finds a suitable assignment dropping in grade and finally draws a favourable gate. Gets in well with the 7lbs claimer engaged and rises to his pet trip on the quick back-up. Plenty to like. He's the one to beat. SPIRIT OF FLIGHT (13) has been solid in two runs back without threatening. Already a winner here and should be hitting her straps now third-up. Shapes as the main danger. CHARLESFORT (15) had no luck last start, getting out too late yet still picking up sharply into fourth. He's a winner here but drawn the carpark, so will be left with plenty to do when straightening. PRICILLA'S CHOICE (10) has mixed her form this prep but is a track and trip specialist. Murtagh reunites and boasts two wins aboard. Have to include.
