In depth
Verdict
It is difficult to get away from the claims of Coole Venture, Garryspillane and Freteval, with the former getting the nod in a good hunter chase. The selection comes here on a roll from a number of wins in the pointing field and, only a none-year-old, looks to have more to come. This Memorial race has produced a good turnout, with many pointing winners and a good contest lies ahead.
