I backed SHOWALONG on reappearance at Doncaster last month and while he failed to get competitive he wasn’t actually disgraced and just shaped as though he’d improve for the run. He loves it when the mud is flying and given the runner-up in that race Maharajas Express has won well at Bath since the form has been franked. He won second time out at Nottingham last year so I think there is plenty of value in the price on offer. Zargun actually beat Maharajas Express at Doncaster where the selection was sixth so could be the danger despite a 6lb rise. There looks to be plenty of pace pressure this time though. Rambuso Creek could be the danger as he will be ridden quietly and they might go too hard.
