      Verdict

      Je Suis Unrockstar and Finn's Rainbow have both been placed behind the progressive Even Stevens recently. On that form the latter comes out best here, despite carrying a penalty for his recent C&D success. However, the vote goes CLOSE TO THE EDGE who finished runner-up here a week ago on only the fifth start of her career so far. Open to further progress, Alan McCabe's filly looks capable of winning off her current mark. Cheylesmore is another with scope for improvement but it remains to be seen if first-time eye-shields brings it about.
