Verdict
Adams Barbour won this in 2021, one of seven track victories, but was a long way behind Senado Square at the beginning of the month. The latter won again on Friday but faces a very stiff task under a penalty as Havana Notion was only a neck behind in that earlier race and will be a massive 17lb better off. However, SAMROGUE, who finished a very close third, looks the one to take from the race as Oisin McSweeney could not claim that day and can utilise his 5lb allowance here. Loma Larnee has a big weight for a three-year-old on her handicap debut against older horses.
