In depth
Verdict
Adelphie Lass, Forest Green Flyer and Colonial Sunset are three against the field in this moderate affair and the vote is given to Adelphie Lass. The selection is eased in grade after a disappointing effort at Southwell last time when down the field behind Prince Domino. She had previous run well at Folkestone when second behind Wave Back and over this more suitable trip she looks the one to beat. Forest Green Flyer fell at Leicester last time but she would have place prospects on the pick of her form. However, she is difficult to win with and the suspicion is that she may be slightly better over further. Colonial Sunset has been disappointing of late but he did win a race at Chepstow back in October when beating Alvaro. He will have conditions to suit and in this dreadful race he is worthy of consideration. Damien¿s Choice has shown flashes of form and is another to consider, but in a race that will not take much winning, we will stick with Adelphie Lass as our selection.
