Verdict

A weak-looking maiden can go to MR WASHINGTON, who wasn’t helped by a blunder in the closing stages when second to the odds-on Burrows Edge over a longer trip here last month. Pershing Missile was placed in bumpers in Ireland for Noel Meade and is probably better than he’s shown so far over timber but Totterdown has proved disappointing. Memorys is by Oscar out of a winning hurdler and the ex-pointer will know what’s required.
