Verdict

BID ADIEU has been threatening to get his head back in front and wasn’t beaten far over today’s trip before finding one too good over 1m4f here last time. He gets another chance ahead of Maroc, who posted a better effort when runner-up at Newbury last month with Boycie well beaten and can race off the same mark. Glens Wobbly won off today’s mark at Bath last summer and Vincent's Forever drops further down the handicap for his new yard.
