Attain commands respect given his form at this course but preference is for UNIT OF ASSESSMENT. Adam Kirby's mount my remain a maiden but has demonstrated he has ability including when a good third over C&D last time out. He should be capable of getting off the mark off his current handicap rating and is the suggestion here, with Ban Shoof also making the shortlist from a wide draw.
