      Verdict

      AIRSHOW has gone up 9lb for two wins at Bath but it may be worth staying with the gelding in his current vein of form. He's getting on well with Ross Coakley and his yard is enjoying a fine spell of form too. He was beaten by Gilt Edge here in June but has improved significantly since and turned the form around in no uncertain terms last time. Wudashudacuda went close over course and distance in a decent sprint last time and a repeat of that would make him the main danger.
