Another headscratcher for the Showcase. On his day, Red Guard would be a confident selection but his capacity to make jumping errors means that we will leave him alone today. Vincent Van Gogh has been running well on a variety of surfaces but is yet to put his head in front this term. n his best form, Dear Deal would hold every chance. Second to Chives here in February; any reproduction should see him go close. Mr Timbrology rarely runs a bad race and with the Alner team in form, any market move must be noted. Bunratty Castle was an expensive mistake at Folkestone and gave Ruby Walsh no chance of staying aboard. Still lightly raced, he was impressive enough at Stratford prior to that run and he is made the TEAMtalk selection.
