Verdict

There's a bumper line-up for this modest handicap but the one to beat may be top weight COMMIT TO MEMORY, who could only muster the one pace when third over 2m3f here last month but continues to give the impression this longer trip will suit. William Percival is visored for the first time and can reverse May's C&D running with Diamanpeg, who has disappointed since. The lightly-raced Chapel House has been put up 6lb for finishing second at Worcester but Mangonel races off a lower mark than when third over a slightly longer trip here last time and wouldn't be without a chance. The others have little to recommend them on recent form.
