Showboaing hasn't won since july 2015 whether he will ever win now at 9 is debataeble but does retain abiliy as shown when 2nd off 82 behind mithqaal in january,has run once since then and now another drop of 2 pound and runs in this grade for first time since that win in july 2015 off 77.He's worse off in the weights with vivat rex strictly should finish beind it,but at prices he's worth another go the race is chocca full of horses in form but big steps up in class for a lot of them,if he gets a decent pace to chase which is essential then could still run well aty a big price..

Have backed crosse fire once this season,then left him so many times missing the break inbetween those missing the breaks has some very good form in class 3/4/ and 5s,he maybe worth giving one more chance in this race for horss rated upto 70.,he hasn't won since march 2016 so could only be a token bet.Might also be worth having a token bet on red stripes in the same race,similar to crosse fore hasn't won in a long time jan 2015 but that was when in this grade,similarly can miss the break but has run ok here in two c/d runs this season and trainer has at least now had a winner this season,off 67 with a 7 pound claim could run ok in a very weak race,closely matched with crosse fire when they were 3rd and 4th behind captain lars over c/d back in december,ran terrible last time out at wolves so again just a token bet as weak grade..

Although you couldn't trust cross fire,i still think this will be massively overbet 11/4 still left 5/2 geberally could well go off nearer 7/4 so bit in there for trading or free bet..lots of gambles hgoing on in race powerful dream could be sgbnificant but think fav will go off a lot shorter.3.8 on betfair..
Got place money on it but really does look unbackable now as was infront with hundred yards to go,the winner I've ben waiting months for only ever ran well with tongue tioe when with tony carrolll Appleby gets it and wins fiorst time without it and well backed trainer just seems to be different class..
