Water's Edge has been in fine form this year though all three wins came at Windsor. He beat Dolphin Vista on one of those occasions but is upped in class carrying 5lb extra today and KRYPTOS is preferred in this grade. The latter was beaten less than a length back on soft going at Nottingham last time and the winner has subsequently gone in again. The veteran Awake My Soul still looks too high in the weights and Croeso Cymraeg was beaten off today’s mark last time having won at Goodwood earlier.
