Forest Edge makes a quick reappearance having won over 5f here on Wednesday. But he has something to prove over today's trip unlike the front-running Cash Or Casualty, a winner at Naas last time but drawn high today. Dr Red Eye is up 8lb for a recent win at Wolverhampton while course and distance winner Clockmaker would prefer some cut in the ground. It was soft going when PERSONAL TOUCH scored at Doncaster in March but he handles most surfaces and there looks more to come from Richard Fahey's charge this year. He gets the nod with the in-form Polar Kite making most appeal of the remainder.
