MEMORY LANE goes for her hat-trick in the race her trainer has won for the last two years. Sir Mark Prescott's filly has made steady progress and landed a double at Catterick earlier this month. Today's longer trip should bring further improvement and she gets the nod. Mungo Park got off the mark at Hamilton last time and is another likely to appreciate this greater test of stamina, while the lightly-raced pair Schism and Blazing Field are not easily dismissed. Cunning Act is 6lb higher than when scoring over this distance at Goodwood but is another to consider.
