Edgardo Sol was far from disgraced when fourth in a Listed contest at Sandown last Saturday having won over this C&D earlier. He's high enough in the weights now, however, while Bally Legend has been put up 6lb for winning at Fontwell. Tony Star had Dancewiththedevil behind when second to Dineur at Wincanton eight days ago and warrants respect, while Golden Gael now tries her luck in handicap company having easily won novice events at Chepstow and Huntingdon. Jeremy Scott's mare should give a good account but just as interesting is PAINTBALL, who won a better race over C&D in April. Back on good ground, Charlie Longsdon's four-year-old can utilise his pace again with Kielan Woods taking off a valuable 5lb.
