      Verdict

      It's hard to get away from Ede's; Brilliant could be the one for the forecast. Ede's has now won four of his eight starts over hurdles and has been found an ideal opportunity to make it five from nine by his handler. He won a soft ground course and distance handicap by twenty seven lengths last time and could easily land this by a similar margin. Brilliant failed to run his race last time but had been in good form prior to the turn of the year and handles testing conditions. Providing he's over whatever ailed him last time, he should finish in the money. Dance Hill Diva was a long way behind Ede's last time but that was her first run in almost two years so she may be able to finish a little closer today. Slo Mo Shun has been beaten a long way in her three starts over timber to date but may derive some benefit from the fitting of a visor. However, there shouldn't be any need to look any further than Ede's.
