Verdict
Basilette has held her form generally quite well and could still be nicely treated on the level, even though she has gone up 1lb for a Salisbury second when she was beaten the best part of three lengths. Just Adair is better than he was able to show at Ffos Las and the cheekpieces go on, but FRAM CASTLE's stamina is more assured because he went agonisingly close at Lingfield before picking up minor money at Newmarket. He remains on a handy mark and could be ready to capitalise.
