MEMORY CLOTH completed a hat-trick when landing this a year ago and not surprisingly shot up the weights. He's now just 2lb higher and can get back to winning ways. Final Countdown had a spell over hurdles before scoring at Pontefract earlier in the month and though 7lb higher Joe Doyle's claim takes care of most of the extra. Phosphorescence won a Kempton maiden in December 2013 but only had two subsequent runs so Kinema looks more of a threat. Alan Swinbank's charge was having his first start since scoring at Lingfield in October when a close third at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago and should have come on for the run.
