Crying Lightening is in line to strike

Memory came home a narrow winner of the six-furlong heat and has since bagged the Cherry Hinton Stakes while runner-up Margot Did is a leading fancy to claim Pattern-race glory back at Ascot on Saturday.

Crying Lightening's sixth in that event gives her every chance of glory in the Weatherbys Bloodstock Insurance Star Stakes at the Esher venue.

Peter Chapple-Hyam's charge certainly showed plenty of progression from her debut victory at Leicester in June and she improved again at the Royal meeting, so a similar step forward would be more than good enough here.

Nationalism should be the one best-placed to prevail in the Betfair Maiden Stakes later on the same card.
