Show Business is an interesting newcomer here and should be watched very closely in the market, however we will take a chance with Put It On The Card, Aggbag is also expected to be involved in the finish. The David Evans trained gelding disappointed at Southwell last time but had previously gone very close here at Wolverhampton. He went down by just a quarter of a length to Stir Crazy and a similar effort today should suffice. Show Business cost 65 thousand euros as a yearling and has a decent American pedigree. The stable of course can get one ready first time so he has to be considered a threat. Aggbag wasn't too far behind the selection last time and should again be thereabouts. Totally Free is another to consider for each-way purposes, but our idea of the winner is Put It On The Card.
