        Verdict

        BEAUTIFUL MEMORY (NAP) was placed in both starts over 7f last year including here and this extra distance should suit on her reappearance. An apprentice’s allowance further helps her cause and she’s preferred to the other Godolphin runner and newcomer Menuetto. Heather Lark is another stepping up in trip on the back of placed efforts over a mile and Crumblecreek was third over the same distance at Wolverhampton on her debut. Idyllic was beaten a couple of lengths over 1m2f at Nottingham but that was back in 2016 while better was expected from both Frown and Mundersfield on their respective latest starts.
