In depth

Verdict

Aleef won over 5f at Chelmsford before going close again over today’s trip at Southwell with Memories Galore well behind. But COMPAS SCOOBIE drops down in class on the back of a good effort at Chelmsford last week when ahead of Dynamo Walt. He also has the beating of Doc Sportello on earlier form and should make a bold bid. Twizzell faces a tougher task than when runner-up here last week and Hakam has done all his winning so far over longer distances.
