HORSE RACING:MEMORY'S OUTSTANDING turn of foot released her from trouble yet again to maintain a three-race unbeaten record in the Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Cherry Hinton Stakes at Newmarket.

Slow starts had been the feature of the Richard Hannon-trained filly’s outings at Goodwood and in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot, but this time circumstances dictated jockey Richard Hughes to be more daring than ever.

Memory was last on the rail with one of the six furlongs remaining but such was the 5 to 4 favourite’s acceleration, Hughes had switched across, picked off the entire field and still had time to sit up as they crossed the line three-quarters of a length in front.

She is now the 8 to 1 favourite for next year’s 1,000 Guineas.

Harry Herbert, representing winning owners Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, said: “The Moyglare in Ireland must be the way we head now.

“I thought it was going to be the classic Newmarket July story when you’re penned in on the rail, but Hughesie said she almost enjoys the trouble. He rode her very confidently – but he’s very confident.”

All the remainder were left standing still, with Mick Channon reporting of runner-up Soraaya: “We thought she was a decent filly and she obviously is but we’ve bumped into another one again.

“I would think we’ll go to the Lowther next.”

There were a couple of interesting maidens and the EBF sponsored juvenile event, taken by the smart Elusive Pimpernel last year, was won in convincing style by the Ed Dunlop-trained newcomer Native Khan (14 to 1).

“Kieren Fallon liked him and I’d say he will be campaigned sparingly this year,” said Dunlop.

William Jarvis caused rather an upset in the Three Chimneys Maiden Stakes for three-year-olds as 66 to1 Cotton Mill led them home.

“Many people might be surprised but we have always liked him and he’s bred to be very good,” said the local trainer.
