Verdict
A modest contest to round off the card and Adventurist is the sporting selection in a tricky race to unravel. Salinor and Gems Bond appeal as the main dangers with Eastern Dagger one to watch in the betting. However, Adventurist drops back to a more appropriate trip here and a better show than of late can be expected. The booking of Jamie Spencer augers well for a horse that has looked to be in need of strong handling and the move may reap a fair dividend this evening.
