In depth

Verdict

Bayston Hill, second over track and trip last month, is likely to be thereabouts again. Millions Memories won in this grade at Chepstow and For Richard was successful at Goodwood but Twisted Dreams seems best on artificial surfaces. MAFIA POWER is eased in grade and, reunited with Silvestre De Sousa, may be good enough to open his seasonal account ahead of fellow joint top weight True Scarlet, who has done most of his racing on Polytrack.
