MAGICAL Memory sets a high standard in the Group 3 Bet365 Hackwood Stakes at Newbury today. If Charlie Hills’ horse could return to the form that he showed in winning the Abernant Stakes and the Duke of York Stakes last year, he would be a short price to win today.

He has run some good races since, he shaped really encouragingly on his debut this season behind Tasleet at York, but he disappointed in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot before going to Haydock last time and just getting up to beat Kachy.
