Verdict

Volpone Jelois won a bumper on the Polytrack at Kempton but hasn't really kicked on from there and though The Last Debutante scored on her debut on Turf at Doncaster that was over a year ago and she's 6lb higher. Tyrolean has yet to win a race though has been operating in much softer conditions but BID ADIEU, a winner at Dundalk when trained in Ireland, should be suited by this trip and ground and doesn't look harshly treated. Sonnetist, twice a winner on the all-weather, has failed to reach a place in seven starts on Turf but Phoenix Dawn is one to consider as he's done reasonably well over hurdles and reverts to the Flat on a lowly mark.
