APACHE RIDGE brings solid recent form to the table and a repeat of last week's valiant effort at Carlisle will see him involved in this company. Keith Dalgleish has made an impressive start to his training career and his charge can defy topweight. Close To The Edge scored over course and distance on her penultimate outing and should go well in this follow-up attempt under identical conditions. She's 5lb higher than when landing that success but confirmed her wellbeing with a solid effort at Warwick latest. Watch Chain didn't fire last time but has claims on the best of his form, whilst Sea Salt is no improver at the age of eight but this good stable servant has been given a chance after being dropped 4lb since the start of the season.
