A typical Showcase Handicap where not too many can confidently be ruled out. Shalbeblue, Analyze and The Fairy Flag are all taken to be involved in the shake-up but it may pay to seek out a bit of value in this tricky contest. And, Westgate Run, who is on a very lenient mark at present, fits the bill as a possible stinger for the market leaders. The Richard Fahey-trained mare is a reliable, dual purpose performer, who has won her share of prize-money in both codes of racing. However, she is very well treated for this return to the Flat and may just find the race unfolding to suit her style of running. She is to be teamed up with a jockey that is bang in-form and will relish the underfoot conditions. Ipledgeallegiance is another to consider, but like Millennium Hall, he is hard to win with and is for the brave only.
