WILLIAM'S WAY won a similar event over a longer trip at Southwell on Tuesday. His last five wins have all been under today's amateur Chris Martin, including two over C&D, and the winning partnership can continue here. Edgeworth has been in fine form over 1m2f recently and can figure if staying the extra distance while Barodine can be given a chance if forgiven his recent below par effort at Wolverhampton. Taste The Wine and Irish Jugger are also worthy of consideration judged on their best form.
