Verdict
Having finished last on his debut in April, EDGWARE ROAD ran out an easy winner on his recent return to action at Hamilton. Today's extra furlong shouldn't be a problem and he can follow-up on his handicap debut. Piccoluck picked up a modest race in Denmark last time but this is tougher, though Spirit Of Oakdale may be capable of better still despite a 4lb rise for a recent win at Yarmouth. Thunda was below par at Brighton on her latest start and Poppy will need to step up on her form in maidens to figure.
