Verdict

The vote goes to interesting stable-switcher BERRY EDGE. The dangers are headed by Harry Gulliver, who looks to have returned from an absence with plenty of ability still intact, with Jessie Jump Jet and Getaway With You others to consider.

5	Fair 3-time Flat winner. Decisively opened his hurdle account at Wetherby (soft) in February before matching that form on final start for David Thompson. Subsequently picked up by all-conquering Skelton team for £21,000 and looks very interesting returning on the back of a breathing operation. 1st Pick 5 Berry Edge (Ire) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	100	-	-	-	23%	7/2

6	Opened his account in a soundly-run affair at Huntingdon (2½m) in October 2024. Showed plenty of ability remains both starts following a significant absence, a late blunder denying him third when beaten 12 lengths at Fontwell (2¼m) latest. Step back up in trip no issue and looks a likely candidate. 2nd Pick 6 Harry Gulliver Jockey: Bryan Carver Trainer: Alex Hales J: Bryan Carver T: Alex Hales	97	-	-	-	19%	9/2

4	Made it a hat-trick of seconds when 6½ lengths behind a next-time-out winner at Market Rasen (23f) in June. Below-par effort back in maiden company at Uttoxeter since. Previous form gives her a chance if back on song returning from 8-week break in more severe headgear. 3rd Pick 4 Jessie Jump Jet Jockey: Ben Poste Trainer: Samuel Drinkwater J: Ben Poste T: Samuel Drinkwater	96	-	-	-	19%	9/2
