Verdict

MEMPHIS BELL (NAP) made remarkable progress in the autumn. She’s had a break but will handle conditions and can defy a further 8lb rise to complete the five-timer as she gets on really well with Isobel Williams. Lily The Pink has run well enough in both starts this term to be considered a threat but Eleanor Bob has been slow to come to hand. Miss Jeanne Moon looks a bigger danger as she’s still heading in the right direction despite only finishing third last time at Hereford. Timetoroe, by comparison, seems to be going backwards.
