In depth
Verdict
Grand Show, Texas Gold and Intrepid Jack look the three to concentrate on here and a chance is taken on the last mentioned. The selection is enjoying a purple patch of form and he lost no caste in defeat when finishing second behind Texas Gold last time. Our selection has a pull in the weights with that rival today and should be capable of reversing the placings. Grand Show is in cracking form and is chasing the hat-trick today. He won well last time when beating Special Lad and from a good draw he should be capable of making his early pace count. Judd Street has been in good form of late and is another to consider, but for the winner we are happy to stick with Intrepid Jack.
