Verdict
Cash Again was beaten less than a length by TOM CREEN at Sedgefield in January and is 4lb better off but he is not as consistent at Sam England’s eight-year-old, who may have found the going quicker than ideal last time. Trevelyn's Corn chased home the useful Into Overdrive when last here a year ago but connections are struggling to find a trip for Myburg and Beat The Edge has been equally frustrating. Chasing debutant Economic Editor may prove the pick of the remainder as The Electrician has lost his spark.
