ADAM'S ALE was only caught in the shadow of the post over track and trip earlier in the month and drops down in class- he can end a long losing run by landing this. Elizona still looks a shade high in the handicap on this year's efforts but is preferred to the returning The Hooded Claw. Royal Connoisseur went close off a similar mark at Ripon in April but has disappointed since. Pea Shooter ended a barren spell with victory over 5f last week and is only upped 3lb while Percy's Gal scored in soft ground at Carlisle at the start of the month and is preferred to maiden winner Aledaid.
