La Isla Bonita has gone close at Chelmsford the last twice now and Al's Memory was placed off today’s mark at Wolverhampton last week. Dream Start found only one too good over 6f at Yarmouth recently and Showtime Blues scored off a higher mark over track and trip at this time last year. But EXIT EUROPE wasn’t beaten far despite finishing only fifth at Kempton on his first start since 2015 and debut for Sir Mark Prescott’s yard and he gets the nod to return to winning ways in this.
