Innocently needs to be watched on this first run since August but ADAM'S ALE has put together a sequence of respectable efforts on his last three starts, filling the minor placing on each occasion, all at this venue. Another competitive performance is anticipated as he's 1lb lower than the first of those runs, is proven on the quick ground and Graham Lee rates a good booking. Boxing Shadows has been rather in-and-out this season but will be in the firing line if on a going day whilst Holy Angel is one to take careful note of as he's steadily coming to the boil and will be winning soon. He'd be well worth a saver here if the money was to come for the Easterby gelding.
