        Verdict

        Sir Hamilton carries a double penalty having completed a double with last month’s success at Kempton and also steps up in trip today. BEAUTIFUL MEMORY dotted up by seven lengths over course and distance on her return to the fray and the Godolphin filly can go in again. She has a bit to spare at the weights with Lingfield runner-up Ambient but Legal History and Finisher are less exposed than the latter and may prove a bigger threat.
