Verdict
SHOWOUT looks the one to beat given he was beaten only a neck at Chepstow on his debut by a horse rated 87. That looks strong enough form to land this and Archie Watson’s charge gets the vote. Giacomo Casanova debuts on Turf and finished closer at Wolverhampton last time. He’s preferred to Diva D while the newcomer Serengeti Song is worth a second glance in the betting.
