Verdict
KING OF EDEN registered four wins last season and has won both starts this year. Eric Alston's progressive gelding may not have finished yet and is worth sticking with here. Leviathan ran better than his finishing position suggests when seventh at Newbury on his return and looks to have every chance, as does Bawaardi who went close at Yarmouth last time after scoring at Doncaster. Dubai Dynamo remains on a winning mark despite a 6lb rise for his Thirsk victory, but New Leyf has yet to run up to her all-weather mark back on the turf.
