Verdict

Thirsk maiden winner Tadpole looks progressive while Abbey Angel only found one too good over this trip at that track last time, though is 3lb higher here. Lady Moscou is very tough and Binky Blue was just beaten in a competitive affair at York having progressed from winning a seller at Redcar in June. ADELASIA didn't handle the rain-softened ground at Newmarket last month and was eased. But she'd shown a fine turn of foot to win at Doncaster earlier and, with her stable in terrific form, is fancied to bounce back here.
