The filly Blhadawa has the past form to figure but has not raced since 2013. Grosmont had a similar opportunity to this last time when sent off favourite at Southwell but came up short in third just ahead of stablemate Play Nicely. Hell Of A Lord was beaten at the same track last week on his first start since June. He should go close on today's terms if running up to his official mark of 80 but a chance is taken on SHOW BOAT, back over 6f today after a better effort over the minimum trip here last time.
