Verdict

Next Edition has gone close to ending his losing streak with narrow margin defeats on his last couple of starts. He's not easily dismissed but the less exposed KAAFEL makes more appeal. He won a maiden at Haydock last month with a subsequent winner in second and the rest nowhere and Charlie Hills' colt can follow-up on his handicap bow. Polytrack runner-up Centrifugal is another lightly-raced type who should figure now handicapping though the biggest threat is Eeny Mac. He bids for his fourth straight course victory off a 4lb higher mark in better company but should take care of 2010 winner Shadowtime once again.
