    Verdict

    THEGREATESTSHOWMAN makes a quick reappearance having been beaten less than a length at Newmarket three days ago and this looks an easier task with an apprentice taking 5lb off his back. Collateral form gives him the beating of both Grandfather Tom and Texting while Michaels Choice came up just short off today’s mark at Sandown having earlier won at Bath. Intimate Moment ran well back over course and distance last time and is preferred to Autumn Trail of the remainder.
