ADAMS BARBOUR looked better than ever when adding a fifth course win over 5f last month and he's fancied to defy a 6 lb rise even if this looks like a slightly stronger contest. Teddy Boy, another last-time-out winner, is regarded as a danger, while it would be no surprise to see a return to form from Hodd's Girl, who didn't get home over 7f on her latest appearance.
