Verdict

JUST ADAIR is fully exposed by now but is more reliable than most at this level and can score for the first time this year. Basilette and Fram Castle also arrive on the back of positive efforts and make most appeal as alternatives.

2	Not always the heartiest finish but won on the Flat in May and enhanced her good record over hurdles at Stratford in July.

4	Ended 2025 out of form for Dominic Ffrench Davis but left his yard debut/return well behind back up in trip when just failing at Lingfield (firm) in July and backed that up with another good third in a 6-runner Newmarket handicap (1¾m, good to firm) 25 days ago, albeit taking time to get going. 3rd Pick 4 Fram Castle (Ire) Jockey: Alexandra Egan Trainer: Michael Wigham J: Alexandra Egan T: Michael Wigham	97	-	-	-	25%	3/1
