Verdict
ADAGE gets the nod but it's not with much confidence. Jim Best has a good record in selling grade and although his mare was fairly-well held when last seen in September, she looks up to landing a race of this ilk with that outing under her belt. Railway Park has dispensed with the visor lately and he is respected now dropped in grade, a comment that also applies to Dansilver who wasn't disgraced at Chepstow last time out. Just Dan's mark looks attractive, more so than his form, whilst Satindra is a course winner (renewal of the following race on today's card) and he is better rated on his Towcester third rather than his Chepstow flop. Tocatchaprince is unexposed but the application of a visor needs to have an almost miraculous effect.
