Verdict
Another wide open handicap for punters to fathom with many in form rivals in opposition including Adjawar, Royal Bathwick and Kylkenny and we will take a chance on Adjawar. The gelding from the Huge Morrison yard was a fair fourth behind Pantone last time and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close. Royal Bathwick rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Mexican Pete but he will find this harder under his penalty and for that reason is opposed on this occasion. Kylkenny is another that could go well but his best form of late has come on the AW. Of the remainder Cill Droichead was a good second behind Sailing Through last time and he could go well at a big price off what looks a fair mark but we are happy to side with the bang in form Adjawar.
