Verdict

Already successful 3 times this term, EDWINA SHEERAN again ran well in a race that is working out well when second at Leicester 23 days ago and she could be the way to go re-united with her 3 lb claimer. Prince Achille went close over C&D latest and he's a threat, with last year's 1-2 Jamih and Valley of Flowers completing the shortlist.

  1. EDWINA SHEERAN (IRE)
  2. PRINCE ACHILLE
