GOOD SHOW has fallen to a handy mark and makes plenty of appeal faced with a greater test of stamina on just his third start for Andrew Balding. Hat-trick seeking Double Meaning remains unexposed as a stayer and could prove the main danger if confirming his recent progression back on turf. Two-time C&D winner Blazeon Five may prove best of the rest, while Calvert shapes as though he'll be suited by the step up to 2m and merits respect with Oisin Murphy aboard for the first time.
