Verdict

Sunset Memory was only beaten a neck by an odds-on favourite at Salisbury while there was plenty to like about Matamua’s first run at Thirsk, where she didn’t get the best of runs. Aveta and Fetna are likely improvers but the step up to a mile is likely to suit YOUCOULDHAVESAIDNO better than Model Actress and William Buick’s mount can see off unraced stable Gal Wonder, whose dam was best over 7f.
