Verdict
CATHEADANS FURY has turned into a real course specialist and she was always holding Alba Del Sole here last month. The latter is only a pound better off despite having been beaten three times since. Storm Melody does most of his racing here and seeks a fourth course victory. His latest third gives him the beating of Essaka and he has place claims again. Able Kane has been running into form and a visor could bring about further improvement while Gilt Edge can never be left out of calculations here. Soldier's Son and Onebaba add to the interest but Indian Pursuit has been spurning easier opportunities.
