FOREST EDGE makes a quick reappearance under a penalty having made all to land a double over 6f earlier this month. Adam Kirby could afford to ease him down in the closing stages at Wolverhampton last Saturday and a hat trick looks on the cards here.

Ring For Baileys remains in good form and is another with claims.
