This is another competitive handicap and the vote is given to Ede's Dot Com; Bucharest and Sparkling Eyes are also considered. The selection is a course and distance winner and this 3-year-old is clearly on good tersm with himself at present. He went close in this grade over this course and distance last time when he just failed to catch Wolf River, and if he can reproduce that effort today then he will be tough to beat. Bucharest showed improved form for the fitting of blinkers last time at Kempton when he was second behind Bobby Rose. If the blinkers do the job again then he can go well. Sparkling Eyes has been running well of late but his best form is over the minimum trip and for that reason we will pass him over. Maysarah is from a yard in form so she can go well for each-way punters, but Ede's Dot Com finished second here last time and he can go one better this afternoon,
