Verdict

Possible Ambition wasn’t beaten far behind the progressive Zealot at Southwell last time while End Zone finished in front of both Broctune Red and Endofastorm when third over track and trip. But SHOWMEDEMONEY has been competing in higher grade races than this and Poppy Wilson’s 7lb allowance may well give him the edge today. Biplane is preferred to Martin's Brig over today’s longer trip.
