          Verdict

          Memphis Man won well enough last time and can follow up this afternoon, Strut The Stage and Blue Bird's Dream look to be the main rivals. The selection didn't beat much in that Brighton contest but it was the manner of victory that caught the eye. He was very slowly away before making smooth headway and in the end won by almost two lengths. This race isn't much stronger and he should be capable of following up. Strut The Stage has to carry top-weight here but has put in some solid efforts recently, including a decent third last time out on the all-weather. He should again be in the thick of things. Blue Bird's Dream is dropping into selling company for the first time so also warrants plenty of respect. However Memphis Man comes here with the best recent form on show and he gets the vote.
