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.
