SHOWBIZZY won at Bath in August and didn't get the clearest of runs on a return visit last month. Her young rider's claim can ensure she gets competitive again and she's handed the vote. Fruit Salad has been running well on soft ground and Tapeta so any rain would aid her cause while the veteran Bronze Beau deserved his recent victory here, the tenth success of a long career. The latter had Storm Trooper behind that day and should confirm the form with Dandy Nicholls' charge. Euxton enjoyed the soft ground at Ayr where she gained her first victory and though 5lb higher has to be respected but Innocently hasn't won for over two years and has been beaten from lower marks than this recently.
