A disappointing field numerically for this nice prize though none of the quartet can be ruled out. REMEMBER THE DAYS attracted little attention when coming here for his debut a fortnight ago but defied inexperience to beat a moderate field of maidens over a mile. There should be much more to come and he can remain unbeaten. Robert Cowell's Visionary has won twice over the minimum and tackles this trip for the first time after staying on over 6f at Lingfield, where he would have finished closer but for his rider dropping the reins. Ger Lyons' has entered both Rock In Peace and Tuff Love. The former has been ridden by Colin Keane in both recent victories here but he's elected to ride the latter this time despite his mount only getting home in the closing stages a month ago. The runner-up has been beaten subsequently so the form may not be quite strong enough for this.
