Verdict
Useful staying hurdler EDEYMI wasn't beaten far on his chasing bow over a trip too short at Fairyhouse in April and reverted to timber for his next start at Haydock. He should make a chaser and can see off some potentially decent rivals. Archie Meade's second to Gallant Oscar in a very tough Punchestown handicap last month was easily his best over fences to date and a repeat would see him in the firing-line and though The Bosses Cousin has been very disappointing in his last two starts a return to the form that saw him chase home Sin Miedo at Fairyhouse would get him into the frame. Shantou Flyer could provide the main threat with his age allowance, however, as he led for much of the way on his chasing bow at Limerick before succumbing to Flaming Dawn.
