      Verdict

      Mark Johnston saddles three of the seven runners in this. Chadic won over the trip at Chester in July but has barely raised a gallop since. Mister Rockandroll has been beaten twice off this mark since winning at Carlisle last month but Adele arrives off the back of a win at Hamilton and is the choice of Joe Fanning. MAXWELL wasn't disgraced in the Melrose at York last month and will be fancied to get back to winning ways here eased in grade again. Agent Gibbs appeared to have no problem stepping up to 1m4f at Lingfield last time but this may be too far on breeding.
