Fine Example is on an upward curve and well drawn for a front-runner. He could be tough to pass but Colourbearer is still running well, despite creeping up the weights, and Believe It usually runs up to his mark. Jan Steen is getting closer while Quite A Story arrives off the back of a win at Goodwood. Veteran Space War could run well at a price but Encore Moi has been found wanting in less-competitive races than this. REMEMBER ME was below par last time at Yarmouth but she won on Turf at Lingfield earlier and has already been placed on Polytrack. Still relatively unexposed, Hughie Morrison's filly gets a tentative vote here.
