        Verdict

        Mimic's Memory looked a progressive type in the spring but an absence since May tempers enthusiasm. Roaring Forties has been competing at a higher level and didn't enjoy heavy ground when beaten by GABRIAL THE TIGER at Chester. The winner had dropped to his lowest mark for a very long time but has only been raised 2lb so should have the edge. Fine Example has run here three times, winning last August and finishing second twice in July so he has to be respected.
