In depth
Verdict
Edge Fund has had the benefit of a run and can make that little bit of experience tell over some interesting newcomers such as Chalison, Catwalk Cleric and Beaver Patrol. Edge Fund must have shown something at home as he was sent off as an odds-on favourite for his Nottingham debut at the end of March. He looked ill at ease on the fastish going though and he could only finish third. The recent rain should help take the sting out of the ground and he is taken to make amends before maybe taking in races such as the Weatherbys Super Sprint and St Leger Yearling Stakes this summer. Richard Hannon knows the time of day with juveniles, especially at Windsor so Chalison should be noted as well. The son of Anabaa should be more at home when upped in trip eventually but we can assume that he will be ready here. Catwalk Cleric comes from a stable that knows the time of day and if the money is down, take note. Beaver Patrol is related to some top-class milers but interestingly is another Super Sprint entry so has obviously shown more than enough speed on the gallops. A good little race with an eye to the future can go to Edge Fund.
