Edelpour and MYTH BUSTER are building frustrating profiles but both look so far ahead of their rivals that the winner would be expected to come from this pair. The former is tried in blinkers having regressed lately whilst the selection drops down in trip having failed to stay 3m when sent off a warm order last time. The current form of trainer and rider make him worthy of one more chance to get the job done. Retribution caught the eye under a considerate ride on his hurdling debut, but Vinnwar rates a bigger danger having looked in need of this longer trip last time.
