Verdict

ENTERTAIN ME is given the vote to land the finale, while both Camino Real and J'Adhere can run well for each way backers. The selection has improved with experience and after some decent placed efforts she broke her maiden tag at this venue last time out. She does, however, drop back in trip which is not certain to benefit her chances but with confidence in the camp she is sure to be in contention come the business end. Camino Real was good enough to win a bumper two seasons ago, but has been plagued with injuries ever since. He improved for fitness on his latest outing finishing a decent fourth of thirteen and any market moves should be noted. J'Adhere has been knocking on the door of late and was not beaten far after finishing second to Ardmaddy at Plumpton last time out. He comes from a yard that like a tilt in the ring and that are having winners at present. Entertain Me is progressive and can land the finale.
