Show Stealer can usually be relied on to run her race and it was a good effort when fourth in the Ayr Silver Cup last time. Buridan narrowly beat Warsaw Road in an optional claimer at Newcastle recently, with Intisaab behind, while Beyond Equal ran well in a lower grade sprint here last week. But CORINTHIA KNIGHT won a Listed race in Sweden before placing in Group 3 company in Ireland and Archie Watson’s sprinter makes most appeal in this. Lady Dancealot is upped in class but Lancelot Du Lac could go well back on the all-weather today.
