EDGE had been tried over this trip a few times before getting his head in front in an amateurs’ race over course and distance last time. He only just caught Oceanus, who is 2lb better off, but generally runs his race and is fancied to confirm that form and come out on top overall again. Indiana Dawn is slowly to coming in hand and the lightly-raced filly runs in a seller for the first time. Port Lairge runs his best races here but Bath second Saint Helena is hard to catch right.
