In depth

Verdict

Cheer The Title has been placed in handicaps though has something to find on these terms with Wingreen back in novice company. The latter attempts this longer trip for the first time but EDINBURGH CASTLE made a winning return over 1m2f at Epsom last month when defeating a subsequent winner by over four lengths. Andrew Balding’s colt looks the one to beat on that evidence and can defy a penalty. Wemyss Ware never figured at Wolverhampton on his recent introduction and is upped in distance along with Limalima while something went amiss with Rewrite The Stars at Kempton last time.
