Verdict

EDWARDTHENINTH did well under the circumstances to finally get off the mark at Newcastle 40 days ago and looks capable of following up on the back of a small rise. The Bay Warrior ran well when second at Leicester on a rare turf start and could figure if staying the longer trip, while The Craftymaster has won twice over C&D and holds place claims.

2	Good second of 9 in a handicap at Leicester 15 days ago on rare turf start. On a good mark and will be suited by this return to all-weather so he's likely to be bang there if lasting out the longer trip. 2nd Pick 2 The Bay Warrior (Ire) Jockey: Silvestre De Sousa Trainer: Mark Usher J: Silvestre De Sousa T: Mark Usher	100	-	-	-	39%

1	Not always looked keen this year but is better known for all-weather exploits so recent turf/jumps efforts are best ignored and he can be expected to make a better fist of things back over a C&D he's won twice at. 3rd Pick 1 The Craftymaster Jockey: Myla Coppins Trainer: Tony Carroll J: Myla Coppins T: Tony Carroll	95	-	-	-	34%
