Verdict

Several multiple winners here, none more so than ADAMS BARBOUR (NAP), who has won half of his 14 starts here including his last three. He's been raised 7lb for his latest success but holds both Primo Uomo and Ajax Tavern, who both appeared to have had every chance, on that run. Harry's Bar returns from Dubai where he failed to reach a place in four starts but he's back on the same mark as when successful here in October when he had Pulse Of Shanghai over three lengths behind. No Speed Limit is very consistent but has been looking high in the weights since scoring here in November.
