Memory Styx was only beaten a head in a Thirsk nursery eight days ago but it's difficult to get away from LILBOURNE LASS, who was only beaten a neck in the valuable Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury last month having only being beaten a short-head by subsequent Group 2 winner Sayyerr here in June.
