Kempton runner-up Footstepsintherain has won around here and shouldn't be far away. But it was difficult not be impressed by MEMORIA's course and distance victory at the start of the month. This is a bit more competitive but Rae Guest's filly is taken to continue her upward curve. Pivotman is another recent course winner but Dansili Dutch has rather lost her way. Madame Mirasol is coming down the weights, however, and Gambino showed improved form here last time. Lord Oftheshadows has his first run here but the handicapper has given him a chance if he takes to the surface and he looks the pick of the remainder.
