ERDELI is 7lb higher than when scoring over the C&D from a subsequent winner with Peace Corps beaten just under five lengths. A 7lb rise makes life more difficult though he should confirm the form with the third and see off Forest Rhythm, who is looking a few pounds high in the weights and is better over further. Quiet Whisper appears to be making his handicap debut from a high mark on what he's shown to date.
