Verdict

Millions Memories placed over a longer trip at Salisbury having earlier finished behind third-placed Pledge Of Honour. The latter had landed a double before that while Wonder Starelzaam won a lower grade race over 1m3f here and steps up in class along with Hotspur Harry and Star Of Valour. LOST GOLD ran out of steam at Lingfield on his handicap debut but the Godolphin charge failed to settle on that occasion and gets another chance dropping down in trip with cheekpieces applied for this.
