    Verdict

    Just a quartet go to post now and they all have questions to answer in their various ways with Tectonic having his best chance for ages but his overall record is rather off putting and you never know if he will go through with his effort. Slipper Satin could get the run of the race and making the pace will give her the best chance of winning while Adrakhan does need to improve again. That leaves course specialist LA BACOUETTEUSE as the suggestion with a good run under his belt last time out and a reduced mark giving him a positive profile.
