In depth
Verdict
Prince Adjal can beat Lowe Go and Caribbean Man in a weak contest at the Midlands track. Prince Adjal was a maiden on the level and is no great shakes over timber either, but does at least have a win to his credit at Kelso in October. He pulled Anthony Ross's arms out on that occasion and the pilot wisely decided to let him be the boss. Those tactics have not worked in two outings since, but his defeat the time before last was at Wetherby in the race won by Howle Hill and he certainly meets nothing of his calibre here. Lowe Go was placed a couple of times on the flat and did not shape too badly on his debut over timber at Fontwell. He can give the selection most to do along with Caribbean Man who takes a drop in class after taking on Trouble At Bay at Hereford. Although bets should be kept to a minimum, Prince Adjal may pay to support.
