Verdict
The top four in the weights appear to have this between them and, as they all arrive here with a similar profile, this could provide on of the best finishes of the day. And the resilience of Sam Adamson edges the vote in his favour. Sacrifice also has to be seriously considered but he has a little to prove on these terms and he was already on the retreat when unshipping his rider on his handicap debut last time. Die Fledermaus is possibly a shade of better days but can be relied upon to run his race for each way backers. The same sentiments apply to Auditty, who has struggled to find his level since he arrived here from Ireland last year. Therefore, Sam Adamson, who gets on well with today's rider, is given a chance to prove that his latest outing was just a minor blip in his otherwise solid recent form. The eight-year-old is better when he has plenty of time to recover from his races and he will no doubt ready to make a bold bid for glory here.
