Verdict
AVENTURIERE landed the odds with the minimum of fuss over course and distance a week ago. She can defy a penalty for the hat-trick with more to come. Murhib has gone close on a couple of occasions since notching-up a double over 1m5f at Lingfield but Beat The Heat was well beaten attempting a four-timer at Southwell last month. Tigerten drops down in trip on his return to action and is preferred to Adjourned.
