Verdict
Despite veering badly left late on Adjawar won with plenty in hand at Brighton earlier in the month and under just a 5lb penalty Hugh Morrison's gelding has every chance of following up. Azur, who also won last time, is another with claims although this looks tougher than the race she won at Ascot and bigger dangers could well be Shafeeq and Conundrum, who have both filled the runners up berth in their last two starts.
