0-7 over fences but ran big race in defeat when second at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last month, looking the likely winner until collared on run-in; one of two for the stable and a player off same mark again today.

3-5 over fences, his latest success at Bangor (3m, good) last month a career-best; needs to step up again in this better contest but going the right way.

J: Matt Griffiths

T: Sam Thomas

Made it 3-5 over fences when scoring at Bangor (3m, good) in May and he went very close behind his main market rival at Fontwell four weeks later; up another 2lb but he still looks on a workable mark and is open to more progress as a chaser; respected.

Beaten favourite on last three starts, albeit one upped to 3m4f and Class 3 and another over hurdles; largely back on track with last month's Wincanton second, and doesn't appear weighted out of further gains.

Form & Verdict
Won twice at Hereford over 3m1f in the spring but has found life tougher since; pulled up at Warwick (3m1f, good) three weeks ago; others preferred.

Edgewell

10st 8lb

J: Harry Reed

T: Nick Scholfield

Logged a third chase win this year when keeping on well at Newton Abbot last month (3m2f, good); at least one race per month since November speaks to his resilience, but it's noticeable that he's been kept to sharp tracks since pulling up at Exeter eight months ago.

Suffered dip in form after pair of 3m1f Hereford wins towards end of last season but seemed to run well when third of four at Fontwell (3m2f, good; headgear switched) a fortnight ago and is now 2lb below his last winning mark; enters calculations.

Got off the mark on his fifth attempt over fences, over C&D (good) last month; nowhere near that level here (2m3f, good) eight days later but maybe he can return to form back to his winning distance.

Lengthy breaks are a feature in his profile; beaten at least 10l in all four runs over fences (2m5f-3m1f) and brought up the rear last time at Plumpton; unconvincing.
