      Verdict

      Edward Elgar has won a couple of sellers at Leicester but this looks a stiff task under top weight. Sailors Warn returned to form at Sedgefield last month but hasn't managed a win in the UK since arriving early in 2014. Renoyr has a decent record here but looks too high in the weights while Mercian King has his first run for Charlie Longsdon. Dan Skelton probably has HERONS HEIR on a decent mark for his handicap debut and this lightly-raced sort can open his account. Kudu Country has tumbled down the ratings but may be in need of a confidence-booster.
