      Verdict

      Valance gets the call here ahead of Aahsayson and Adaptation. Valance comes out the best of these on adjusted ratings and is selected based on his juvenile promise, which saw him placed at Listed level. Aahsayson's and Northern Fling's marks are about right, and we would prefer the first-named of the pair, while Adaptation holds claims if getting back to his course and distance winning form of last year and is possibly one to catch fresh. With Just Joey having to improve by a few pounds, we return to the selection, which is Valance.
