Celtic Charlie was caught on the line when dead-heating for first place at Lingfield last time and this is tougher, but Musashi should be in the mix once again having beaten Time Square over C&D when runner-up on his latest start. Kai Mook could go close back over this track and trip as she scored here in January, but STRIDING EDGE is taken to follow-up. Hans Adielsson's charge took nearly two years to return to winning ways, but dotted up over 1m3f here a week ago and remains on a winning mark despite a penalty for his clear cut victory.
