Verdict

A tricky nursery for punters to fathom and Memen has to be short-list material, though he has a bit to prove after disappointing at Chepstow and preference is for BELGIAN BILL, while Rerouted looks a serious player. The George Baker-trained selection has had two Doncaster runs, the latter an impressive 7f maiden success on fast ground. That augurs well for his challenge today and with a strong pace virtually assured he can stay on strongly once more to see them all off. Rerouted also landed a maiden last time, in his case over 6f at Haydock. The Barry Hills-inmate may well improve for the extra furlong today and he is a threat. Memen looked smart when taking a Newbury maiden in May but was a bit of a let-down at Chepstow last month when never really involved. If he can return to his earlier form then he will make them all go. Idiom impressed in breaking her duck at Newcastle but flopped in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot. However, that was probably aiming too high and this is far more realistic, so she is not discounted readily. Breathless Storm should get heavily involved after showing improvement to win at Ripon over 6f and acting there as if this step up to 7f would be ideal, while course and distance scorer Introvert and Kempton maiden winner Sceal Mua are both going to be well suited by conditions and should be monitored in the market. They don't come much more difficult than this and Belgian Bill is the token selection.
