SHOWMETHEDOUGH achieved a mark of 84 when scoring at Ripon in September and has been dropped 1lb despite a promising reappearance at Ripon. He's well berthed here and with stable and jockey in top form can get back to winning ways. Spoof won twice in his first campaign though appears best on a stiffer track but Formidable Kit has been very highly tried since a debut success at Newmarket last April and will find this less daunting. Tom Dascombe also has Big Time Maybe and Porchy Party engaged but the former's best form has been at Wolverhampton and the latter has a long absence to overcome. Global Academy has been showing very good pace in his races and could prove a threat from his inside berth.
