Verdict
Showboating came good over track and trip a week ago when beating Al's Memory a length. But he'll need a bit more to confirm running on today's revised terms while both Chokidar and Titan Triumph are upped in grade after better efforts last time. Kickingthelilly and Rakaan are capable at this level though the latter is hard to win with nowadays and preference goes to LIVING LEADER. Nick Littmoden's charge hasn't raced since November but won on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton with a bit up his sleeve and it will be no surprise to see him go on to better things.
