Verdict
Toohighforme trounced Highbury High by 26 lengths over a slightly longer trip here earlier in the month and should confirm the form, despite the revised terms. As that was his first real sign of form, he might improve further but is likely to find SHOWBOATER (NAP) a tough nut to crack at the weights as Ben Pauling's charge was just as impressive in this grade here last time. Tea Caddy hasn't had much time to recover form a heavy fall at Towcester and Youm Jamil is also worth opposing after running poorly at Leicester.
