DEJA VUE is no world-beater but is probably heading in the right direction and the winning pointer should handle today’s conditions. Memphis Bell has a really nice pedigree for jumping being a half-sister to a winning hurdler and chaser and it would be no surprise to see Evan Williams’ debutante in the frame. The others look of similar ability and are likely to be found wanting again.
