Mr Fox says

Just Adair (SR:57, 9/4) is one of only two horses in this Class 6 field with an SR in the competitive range, and at age 4 carries the progressive profile that matters in a moderate handicap. The Mkt:in10% move — money arriving from 9/4 — is a meaningful signal in a field where most runners are drifting sharply. The form string 28-226 shows consistency at this level: placed in five of six career starts, never finishing worse than eighth, with the rightmost '6' (last run) explained by an unproven distance and going record (both DistFit:? and GoingFit:?) — today's conditions on good ground at 1m6f are at least not a demonstrated negative, unlike Fram Castle whose GoingFit:- is a concrete concern. Pat Cosgrave's 10% strike rate from 650 career rides gives the yard a reliable pilot, and the Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill yard's 12% strike rate from 155 runners is solid for a smaller operation. Each-way alternative: Basilette. Main danger: Basilette — Basilette (SR:59, 9/4) is the highest-rated horse in the field, holds a Course:W1P2 record at Bath, and has a confirmed DistFit:+ at today's trip — the course-and-distance specialisation is the single strongest piece of evidence in the race and could easily overpower Just Adair's market support.
