Last week's winner at Bath, Edgeworth, has won five times over track and trip and a bold bid is likely from him in this company. Mafi went close over C&D on his penultimate start although a high draw is not ideal while Strike Force is usually on the premises at this level. Gallantry remains on a decent mark if at his best but D'Urberville could do with some respite from the handicapper. THE HIGH MAN will have come on for a recent outing at Newbury, his first start since 2010 when showing some ability for John Oxx, and a chance is taken we have yet to see the best of Ed Walker's charge.
