Verdict

Though EDEIFF'S LAD unseated last time when sent off at 100/1 in a much tougher contest than this, he returns to a much more suitable level here and he can put that behind him to record a second career win. That sole victory having cane over C&D in very similar conditions to this off 1lb higher, so everything looks to be in his favour. Leg Lock Luke should also be involved at the finish having run some nice races recently, including when beaten only 1½ in January, as well as Knight's Reward who looks to be on a workable mark and has the services of the champion jockey.
  1. Edeiff's Lad
  2. Leg Lock Luke
  3. Knight's Reward
