Fandabidozi^p⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 71

9/4

Second of 4 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good, 4/1) 8 days ago, having run of race. 1 lb lower now, but needs to raise his game a touch in order to see off Berry Edge and Eclipse De Lunar.

Berry Edge²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 68

2/1

Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft, 7/1) 21 days ago, digging deep. Nudged up just 1 lb and big chance if seeing this new trip out.

Form: 36-551

Eclipse De Lunar^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68

5/4

17/2, creditable second of 6 in handicap at York (11.8f, good) 10 days ago, better placed than most. Should give a good account off the same mark here.

Form: 6-99342

Forecasts

Eclipse De Lunar (5/4), Berry Edge (2/1), Fandabidozi (9/4)

BERRY EDGE is venturing into unchartered territory trip-wise here, but he remains unexposed and the way he stuck to his task when getting off the mark over 1¼m at Beverley offers hope that his stamina will pass the test. Eclipse de Lunar was probably seen to best effect at York 10 days ago, but it was a solid effort nonetheless and he is taken to edge out Fandabidozi for the runner-up spot.
