SAVED MY BACON is getting steadily closer and today’s drop in class could see Chris Dwyer’s mare back to winning ways off her current mark. Classic Pursuit won here last month when beating Roy's Legacy with Corridor Kid back in third and then found only the progressive Mighty Zip too good at Nottingham. He’s preferred to recent winner Absolutely Awesome, who won a lower grade sprint at Wolverhampton. Show Palace has a fine strike rate on Turf with five wins in 16 starts and is worth a second glance debuting on the all-weather today.
