Verdict

Gipsy Cricketer, Adecco and Dalriath are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Adeco, The selection was a fair sixth in a better race behind Bishops Bridge last time out, this looks easier and with the drop in trip also in his favour he looks the one to be on. Gipsy Cricketer rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Sporazene but he is often let down by his jumping when full pressure is applied and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Dalraith is another that could go well on his best form but he has been dissapointing of late, however this faster surface should suit. Insurgent is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Salinas may just need the run after a 488 day absence and in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Adeco to small stakes.
