Verdict
Brighton novice winner Thegreatestshowman struggled in the Windsor Castle at Ascot last time but should fare better in this despite a penalty. GABRIAL THE WIRE is also penalised but an apprentice’s allowance helps on that score and Richard Fahey’s colt can go in again having romped home by over four lengths over track and trip last time. She Can Boogie is showing steady progress and just failed to catch the winner here a fortnight ago. She’s preferred to both stablemate March For Men and Emily's Rose.
