LADY ADARE had looked on the up until possibly finding the run coming too quickly at Exeter so is worth siding with to bounce back in style on her handicap debut. Midnight Ginger could emerge as the main danger with this drop back in trip looking a big plus, although both Game On For Glory and Malaita command plenty of respect too in a competitive event.
