There are a few in-form types here that are looking to build on recent successes and it's a competitive heat for the grade. Memories Galore will carry a 6lb penalty for his recent Thirsk win where he looked to race on the best part of the track so will have to step up again a comment that can also be applied to Geoff Potts . Lexington Place has a little more to do here than last time but may well still be feasibly handicapped and Confessional should enjoy the ease in grade. SHOW PALACE is the suggestion though in the hope that the ground stays soft enough and he can produce some more progress and maintain his winning theme.
