Memory continues to please her connections ahead of Sunday's Qipco 1000 Guineas at Newmarket.
Richard Hannon's filly won her first three races before flopping at the Curragh on her final start. Her victories in the Albany Stakes and the Cherry Hinton marked her down as a smart prospect, though, and Harry Herbert, racing manager for the owners, Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, is excited by her progress.
"Memory is going really well. She had a seven-furlong gallop down the straight at Newbury a week ago and that seems to have put her right," said Herbert.
"She has been ticking over since and Richard Hannon was very pleased with that work and does not plan any more serious work. Memory is bigger and stronger than last year and much more relaxed at home.
"She looks fantastic and her owners, some of whom are experiencing ownership for the first time, are very excited to have a live chance in a Classic."
Andrew Balding is aware of the task facing his runner, I Love Me, but is keen to have a crack.
"I Love Me has a fair bit to find on form but she has improved over the winter and a mile is right for her," said Balding.
"She is working well and looking great. I am very happy with her and Jimmy Fortune will ride."
