In a wide-open renewal, it could be worth chancing handicap debutant ADEL who wasn't far behind a now-smart type at the Curragh in August. Top-weight Causeway holds some notable Group 1 entries and looks sure to progress, while Flanker Jet was much improved on the all-weather last time and looks a danger if proving as effective under these conditions.
