Little to choose between the principals in this staying novice but ADRIMEL gets the nod given he showed real battling qualities when maintaining his unbeaten hurdling record in a Warwick Grade 2 and promises to improve further now tackling 3m. Irish duo Stattler and Torygraph have better days ahead of them too so present very stern opposition though, with Barbados Buck's another much respected.
