    Verdict

    Since finishing last of five in a seller on the Polytrack , TRANSFER has been rejuvenated by moving to Richard Price. Without a win since 2008, the six-year-old has struck a rich vein of form, coasting to success the last twice in a manner suggesting he'll be tough to beat again. He gets on well with Ryan Clark and the pair can complete the hat-trick. Edgeworth's reliability makes him a staunch ally in these contests and he was only just outpointed in a similar event here last time under this pilot. Striding Edge wasn't far behind that day and usually runs his race, although it's interesting to see the first-time application of blinkers at this stage of his career. Venir Rouge landed a similar event here back in 2009 but may need this.
