Although better can be expected of Warm Memories today might be the day to catch AERODYNAMIC and he gets our vote accordingly. Pat Eddery's charge won the race for second at Nottingham when the winner was in a different league and that performance promised plenty. He'd also caught the eye at Sandown prior to that and as this race looks less competitive than both it'll be disappointing if he can't double his tally on ground that suits. Conditions are the concern for Doctor Fremantle's half-brother Warm Memories as that illustrious sibling was at his best on quick ground and he's perhaps one for next year, while Purple Gallery's course and distance win came under very different conditions. Gifted Apakay would become more interesting if the weather took a turn for the worst and he's rated best of the rest in an interesting little race.
