Forecasts

Inis Oirr (4/1), Surrey Quest (11/2), Evies Vladimir (6/1), Anglers Crag (15/2), Magna Sam (10/1), Bodhisattva (10/1), Gaboriot (12/1), King Turgeon (12/1), Lord Accord (12/1), Cadell (14/1), Cartonne (16/1), Jerrash (18/1), Bretney (25/1), Manothepeople (33/1), The Newest One (33/1)

Verdict

This is wide open but Brian Ellison's Eider Chase hero ANGLERS CRAG teed himself up perfectly for this when a running-on fifth over an inadequate 2m5f at Market Rasen last time and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark now back over a marathon distance. Last year's winner Inis Oirr could emerge as the chief threat, although 2023 victor Magna Sam and in-form pair King Turgeon and Cadell can also have a say in a cracking Edinburgh National. Surrey Quest completes the shortlist.

  1. ANGLERS CRAG
  2. INIS OIRR (IRE)
  3. MAGNA SAM
