Verdict
Winning point-to-pointer DEFINITE MEMORIES caught the eye on her hurdling debut at Taunton and was well supported a week later at Bangor where she won nicely. Those events were over 2m1f and today's longer trip should enable her to follow up. One More Cookie looked suited by a stamina test when scoring over 2m5f at Plumpton and wasn't beaten far in a slightly better race at Ffos Las subsequently. She should go well with her rider able to claim 10lb but Mytara has been beaten too far in her races to date to have any confidence in. Shantou Breeze was a 125/1 chance at Lingfield last time but ran better than her finishing position suggests.
