Verdict

This looks a seller in all but name. Edward Elgar was fourth at Towcester reverting to hurdles and is only 2lb higher than when last successful. He has to go on the short-list but isn’t an easy ride. SCENTED LILY steps out of maiden company and doesn’t look overtaxed off a mark of 102. Paul O’Brien takes off a further 5lb and she may well be good enough, though Norse Light has to be a danger as he’s won over fences since finishing third off a 2lb higher mark over hurdles at Exeter in November having won at the west country venue previously.
