Edge ended last season with a victory over a mile at Chelmsford and is 6lb higher on his return. But PERFECT SYMPHONY gave notice of a big run when fourth at Brighton last week and gets a speculative vote partnered by a leading amateur in Serena Brotherton. Clement went close at Wolverhampton recently but is best on the all-weather while Purple Paddy has been in good form at Kempton though drops down in trip today. Champagne Bob landed a double over today’s trip last summer and has won for an amateur before.
