Verdict
There are some very speedy types in this so there will be a dash for the rails. Thegreatestshowman doesn’t know how to run a bad race and his latest second at Kempton was a further step forward, though that was over 6f. A winner here on debut, MERCENARY ROSE found 6f too far at Kempton last time. She has the plum draw today and could take all the beating if able to dictate. Bath winner Doc Sportello will probably have to bide his time from stall nine but there are possibilities about Wolverhampton runner-up Fizzy Feet and Harry Hurricane is back in form. Just That Lord and Green Door have speed to burn but Joegogo struggles to get his head in front.
