Memorise can notch up an important victory for the three-year-old crop over representatives of the older generation by taking the Listed O & K Troy Stakes at Doncaster today.
In a season where the merits of this year's Classic form has taken a hammering from certain quarters, some buffs have suggested that the current vintage of three-year-olds is well below standard, citing the current dominance of older horses in the betting for the leading end-of-season events.
But Memorise appeals as the type of colt that can show enough improvement to turn over the more-experienced Busy Flight and Key To My Heart.
A progressive type, plenty of judges thought that he was most unlucky when a subsequently-disqualified third behind Maylane in a valuable and competitive handicap at Goodwood.
With the winner having gone on to beat Dushyantor at Epsom last week, that form has a very decent look about it and although Memorise looks to be badly off at the weights against some classy performers, by using his impressive turn of speed he can continue his ascent up the ranks.
Despite only being a two-year-old, Daggers Drawn can continue to live up to his tall home billing by taking the Champagne Stakes.
