The lightly-raced Memorial Day made a winning reappearance at Nottingham and should stay the extra. Salieris Mass made a winning debut at Ripon, despite running green, and Mark Johnston has wasted no time putting him into a handicap. Raw Impulse ran on strongly to score over this trip on his second start and is potentially well treated but the return to 1m2f looks ideal for LAURENCE (NAP), who just got a little outpaced over a mile here last time. Luca Cumani's charge gets the nod with Kastini and Yeenaan possibly best of the rest.
