Haunting Memories hasn't quite lived up to his home reputation but looks the pick of the weights here, Joseph Henry and Gifted Gamble appear to be the main rivals. Trainer Michael Jarvis couldn't be in better form and his son of Barathea put in four very good performances last season. He lost his maiden tag in good style here in August and then finished placed in decent company. He looks on a very fair mark for his handicap debut and looks the one to beat. Joseph Henry showed plenty of promise on his seasonal debut when third to stable companion Crosspeace. He looked in need of that outing and will strip much fitter today. Gifted Gamble had a very busy juvenile campaign but kept his form well. He did well in a listed race in France last time and any more rain will help his cause. Goodricke and Wise Dennis could prove best of the remainder, but Haunting Memories can land this before moving into better company.
