Half of the field are course and distance winners including the top five. Seven-times course winner ADAMS BARBOUR is on his lowest mark for two years and was conceding 11lb to Realtin Fantasy when beaten just over two lengths last month with Havana Notion half-a-length off the winner, Below Deck a close third and No Speed Limit fifth. Lee Smyth's charge just about comes out best at the weights and a chance is taken he's about to find his form. The lightly-raced Below Deck had earlier finished a neck behind Samrogue and will be 3lb better off so there's little between them. My Girl Sioux has never won in 16 starts but she's gone close several times and can't go any lower in the ratings.
