Verdict

ADMIRALS WAY is worthy of a speculative punt in the finale. Gracechurch, who is holding his form well just now, and Jacky Kiely also have reservations on the shortlist. Jacky Kiely is well treated in comparison to his All Weather rating and, having gone close in each of his turf starts this season, he can give each-way backers a good run for cash today. The state of the ground is a concern though. Gracechurch has been commendably reliable this term and again has to merit respect. He should cope with the underfoot conditions and will be a big threat. Others to note in the betting include: Krugerrand, who takes a drop in grade today, while Ryan's Future is respected but has a bit to prove at the weights. Admirals Way though is a proven mudlark and, as he is open to improvement at this trip, the Chris Kellet-trained gelding takes the eye as a solid betting proposition here.
