In depth
Verdict
A tricky start to proceedings and we will take a chance on Edge Fund, Night Out and Dispol In Mind put forward as big dangers. Rod Millman's colt has taken on decent opposition this season and returns to maiden company here following a decent effort in a nursery. He was just outpaced in the final furlong when finishing third behind Treat Me Wild and The Crooked Ring, a repeat of that effort should be good enough here. Night Out showed improved form when finishing a close up sixth in a decent looking event at Windsor last time, she could still be on the upgrade and is expected to fight out the finish. Dispol In Mind has just been touched off in maidens at Carlisle and Lingfield and should also play a major role today. Danzill Bay and Tanning are two others to keep an eye on, but Edge Fund has the best overall form and gets the vote.
