      Verdict

      After a promising debut here in January, LILY EDGE won a Kempton maiden and followed up with a smooth victory there in a handicap. She's only been raised 2lb and, with more to come, should complete a hat-trick. Mafi completed a course and distance double last month before a fair effort at Kempton and he's well enough treated despite a 2lb rise. Brocklebank was just in front of her last time and, as both of his Polytrack victories were gained here, he should be in the thick of the action again. Xinbama has a victory from this mark to his credit on Turf and has also scored here, though he hasn't been seen since October while Storm Runner, a real specialist over track and trip, is now on his highest ever mark on his 26th all-weather start.
