EDWINA SHEERAN (NAP) came here for the first time last month and made all for a convincing victory over the trip. She's been raised 4lb but that seems unlikely to prevent a double. Alex The Great has only had four starts and ran his best race to date on his handicap debut on Polytrack at Lingfield when stepping up from a mile. Future Times has never won and steps up to this trip for the first time while potential punters would need to forgive a very poor run from Churchella at Ayr.
