Adherence drops down a grade and is in good form but has a longer trip to cover under a welter burden. TRUMPS BENEFIT is also at the top end of the handicap but those below look a modest bunch and Peter Bowen’s charge has no stamina reservations having already won over 3m between the flags. Ector’s form figures leave much to be desired but he was in touch when falling last time over fences having attracted market support. Trysor Ynys has been lightly raced and was only beaten half-a-length at Southwell 11 days ago but the cheekpieces would need to work a second time.
