SHOWTIME MAHOMES wasn’t disgraced in the Super Sprint at Newbury last time having earlier won at Musselburgh so can defy a penalty back at this level. Le Beau Garcon never threatened the winner when second at Catterick, though finished in front of Ayling, but Rockprincess may well improve on today’s faster going and is preferred to Golden Duke.
