Edgeworth has won five times on Polytrack since December but is still rated below Highly Regal on the Flat and the latter has experience over hurdles. Small Fry was in the process of defying his 66/1 SP when coming to grief at the second last in a maiden at Ffos Las and can get involved if none the worse while the mare Ragdollianna has shown enough ability over timber to suggest she can find a race. The four-year-old filly LEITZU gets every conceivable allowance here and enjoyed the fast ground when runner-up to Management at Wincanton. With her stable going well she should gain her first success over timber.
