Last of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Southwell (8.1f), slowly away. Off 6 months and it's probably best to look elsewhere on this occasion.

12/1

9/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at this course (6.9f, soft) 24 days ago. Shouldn't be far away but the first-time blinkers will need to spark improvement if she's to take this.

Edgewater Drive^t²⁴

7/1

Two wins from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (7/1) at this C&D (soft) 24 days ago by 1½ lengths from Hour By Hour. 7 lb rise asks a serious question but he's clearly on good terms with himself.

Form: 070-811

Forecasts

Jesmond Dawn (7/2), Runninwild (11/2), Edgewater Drive (7/1), Hour By Hour (15/2), Braveheart Boy (17/2), Kristal Klear (9/1), White Umbrella (9/1), Berrygate (12/1), B Associates (16/1), King Of The Jungle (18/1), Pinpoint (20/1), Sidney's Son (28/1), Haworth Star (66/1)

Granted better luck, WHITE UMBRELLA probaby would've won at Ripon three weeks ago and she looks the way to go here off an untouched mark. Jesmond Dawn's last two efforts have been the best of his career to date and he looks sure to give another good account. Runninwild got off the mark on turf over this C&D recently and he is also considered.
