Verdict
Adobe gets the confident vote in the finale with Best Before and First Dynasty the others for the shortlist. The selection is making his seasonal reappearance but he goes well fresh and on the pick of his form he will be difficult to beat with conditions to suit. Best Before has transferred his good AW form onto the turf and ran really well at Windsor last time when a close second behind Salinor. He is clearly in good heart at present and will not be far away at the finish. First Dynasty won well on the AW at Wolverhampton last time and he looks a useful prospect. The hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Of the rest, Locombe Hill is a game and consistent sort who is sure to run his race once again, but for the winner we return to Adobe.
