Edgar beat Kahdian four lengths in a higher grade at Leicester. He had a bit in hand that day so should confirm the form, despite worse terms. Upham Running is 1-25 in career starts but that sole victory came on this track, though it was more than four years ago. BREDON HILL LAD stopped quickly last time at Wincanton and was pulled up but that was on ground that was much quicker than ideal. He has his preferred surface today and is back on his favourite track so better is expected. Yourholidayisover is normally a strong traveller but has been out of sorts this term.
