Verdict

EDGAR BALTHAZAR was only beaten half-a-length at Redcar a couple of weeks ago and Keith Dalgleish appears to have found a good opportunity for his charge to go one better here if the cheekpieces work a second time. Vale Of Paris blew the start when chasing a hat-trick at Lingfield and remains unexposed so looks the danger ahead of the largely-consistent You're Cool and Tarando. Midnight Destiny is preferred to the out-of-sorts Loumarin of the others.
