Verdict
Three of these have already won juvenile hurdles with Cabrakan scoring at Newcastle and Freddy Robinson winning over track and trip. Paddy's Fancy won at Leicester before struggling in Listed company but all three are penalised and BRINGBACKMEMORIES can take advantage. The latter finished third behind subsequent Grade 2 winner Mctigue in a Sedgefield maiden in September and John McConnell has sent two of the last four winners of this over from Ireland. Sanitiser is a decent handicapper on the Flat and debuts over hurdles having switched yards.
