ELECTRIC EDDY seems to be building up to something for Nigel Twiston-Davies, producing his best effort when third at Newton Abbot last time (the winner scored again on his next outing), so he is taken to get off the mark this time around. The Sad Shepherd has returned to form on his last 2 starts and could be the biggest threat, ahead of Afta Party.
