With Sir Mark Prescott back amongst the winners Show Business is the choice here to beat Foxxy and House Arrest. This 65 thousand euros purchase was a well beaten third on his Wolverhampton debut but that was over the six furlong trip. He is bred to be better over this trip and he should come on for the run. Foxxy landed an Ayr nursery in September and has since run well on the all-weather at Wolverhampton. She drops into selling company for the first time and has to be respected. House Arrest has had plenty of chance in all types of company and is fitted with the tongue tie this afternoon for the first time. It may help her concentration and she should be in the shake up again. Gibsons is another with plenty of form on show and Ugenius is one with plenty of scope, however we return to Show Business for our selection.
