Verdict
It was fast ground when Murchison River won over a shorter trip at Leicester a week ago and he's penalised on his return to action. PATIENCE TONY also has something to prove on today's surface but ran well for second over 2m4f at Musselburgh recently and Lucinda Egerton's charge may prove good enough in a weak handicap if handling the soft ground. Lastin' Memories finished fourth in heavy going at Ayr last month and has a shout on that form but Kennedys Field hasn't arced since May and Ashes Corner has been off the track since 2016.
