        Verdict

        The Fahey yard has been successful in three of the six renewals so it would be no surprise if Showbizzy improved. But TOP OF THE BANK looks the safest bet despite failing to get to grips with Tasleet here last time as his earlier placed efforts that include a second over track and trip is the best form on offer. He has plenty in hand on today's terms with Just Glamorous while the likes of Belledesert, Silver Sands and Gracious John will all need to improve further to figure. Alshaqee is a brother to a Group 3 winning sprinter and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
