Flaming Lord was only beaten a neck when favourite at Yarmouth though that was on soft going while Muveran’s improved fifth at Redcar came when dropped to 7f so this should chiefly concern Adjudicator and KAASIRR. The former only won by a nose at Sandown but a 4lb rise is negated by his rider’s claim. But he was found wanting when tried over a mile in the autumn so preference is for the latter, despite a 5lb rise for finishing second at Newbury.
