A wide-open sprint handicap. Showbizzy won well over course and distance last time, but that was his second victory of the summer and he may struggle off a higher mark in this grade. Babyfact is another in-form sprinter with form at this course, but she will have to produce a career best to take this. Chepstow winner Vincentti is reasonably well-handicapped, but isn’t certain to appreciate the faster going so preference is for DUSTY BLUE. She beat Babyfact over course and distance at the beginning of August and is still feasibly handicapped on the pick of her best form. Captain Ryan has an excellent record here and is one for the shortlist.
