Verdict
Typhoon Ten was narrowly beaten at Leicester last week and has every chance on that form. Lady Dancealot is another to consider on a close-up third at Newmarket last time but KATHEEFA (NAP) makes most appeal. He found only one too good in a Class 2 sprint at Chelmsford on his latest start and Ruth Carr’s grey can take advantage of today’s drop in class and get his head back in front. Busby has plenty to find with the selection but Airshow went close when last racing over track and trip. Sparkalot has won four of only seven starts here but is returning from a lengthy absence.
