40/1
Fairly useful winner at 2m over fences last summer but hasn't repeated that form since, including back over hurdles. Untrustworthy at the best of times but put up a particularly mulish display when unseating early at Punchestown last month and has since moved yards.

Has returned in top form and regained the winning thread in 4-runner event at Newton Abbot (2¼m, good) last month, staying on to lead close home. Nudged up just 1 lb and every chance he will be in the shake-up again.

7/2
Landed a Ludlow bumper in October and made it second time lucky over hurdles at same course a month later. Unable to land a telling blow having been ridden with even more patience over 2¾m here recently but he's got the ability from to score from this mark should things fall right.

Fairly useful winner on Flat for Johnny Murtagh. On the up for his new yard over hurdles following a breathing operation, making it 3 wins from last 4 starts in 3-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (2m) a fortnight ago, left clear first and in no danger thereafter. Obvious claims from an unchanged mark.

Returned to winning ways at this course (2m) in October but mixed bag since, making it back-to-back poor efforts when last seen at Ludlow in January. Handicapper eases his grip but others more convincing back from a 6-month break.

Verdict

EDELAK hasn't looked back since a breathing operation in the spring and with the ceiling of his ability yet to be ascertained, Dan Skelton's 4-y-o gets the verdict to make it 4 wins from his last 5 starts from an unchanged mark. Snatch A Glance needs things to fall right, but he's capable from this mark so heads up the opposition. Veteran Donnie Azoff can fill out third.
