Some top stables are represented here and we will take a chance on Adaptable, with Kali and Pinching both major threats. Henry Candy his having a bit of a quiet spell but Adaptable can get him back amongst the winners. She wasn't beaten far by Torcross on her final two-year-old outing, and in fact would possibly have won the race if she hadn't been forced to race on her own up the middle. Roger Charlton's Kali has shown promise on two occasions and should play her part. Pinching ran well for a long way in a tough looking maiden at Leicester last time and is expected to improve for the outing. Diamond Lodge and Sharp Needle have shown plenty of ability and are both trained by Jeremy Noseda, watch out for them in the betting, but Adaptable could turn out to be a decent type and is given the vote.
