ADVENTUREMAN has obvious claims having returned a clear winner at Wolverhampton last time. He’s 6lb higher today but is fancied to go in again given the weakness of today’s opposition, none of which have looked remotely like winning recently. Polar Forest finished closer without threatening at Hamilton last time while Gun Case, Ascot Week and Warfare are among those looking to take advantage of a slide down the weights.
