        Verdict

        The Showcase Handicap can go to Musawah. She ran a fair race on only her second handicap attempt when third at Redcar in June, and has been dropped two pounds for that run. The trip should suit - she could even stay further - and looks set to run a big race. Estimate is probably better at this trip than further, and if the first-time headgear helps, she can be competitive. I'm Magic also has claims based on her second at Salisbury last time and, in a tricky event, Blanco could improve for the step back in trip from his Carlisle third last time. Viente Siete is opposable on he has shown in just four starts, while Ziet d'Alsace is seven pounds higher than for a Yarmouth selling win, although she has been placed since from today's mark. To add further intrigue, Barry Hills runs Flying Ribot, who has shown some promise on the odd occasion. Private Benjamin cannot be ruled out also if putting his best foot forward but Musawah might just be the one for today and gets the nomination.
