Verdict
OLIVER SHOW might be better over further, as highlighted when keeping on into second over the mile at Goodwood a fortnight ago. However, he finished fourth in the corresponding event from 5lb higher 12 months ago and may be able to find a bit more in the first-time visor. Completely Random emerged with lots of credit when fourth in the Stewards' Cup, whilst the progressive Asuka is capable of going close. Indian Run and The Liffey are others to bear in mind.
