Verdict
Edgware Road finished second over a longer trip here last time but has just the one win in 28 starts. High On The Hog also has a poor strike rate though he went close at Wolverhampton on his return. Both of Whitstable Native's victories last year came over 7f and the token vote goes to RAPID WATER. The dual course and distance winner scored here as recently as February and is only 2lb higher today. Querido looks best of the rest.
