Nonrunner
Ede's Dot Com, Advertise and Batchworth Blaise are the three to shortlist here, with EDE'S DOT COM, a good second last time, the selection. Batchworth Blaise was an unconsidered outsider when springing a surprise last ime, but there appeared to be no fluke about that effort and a bold run is expected. In a race where the form is weak, a fourth at Brighton is decent, and Advertise, a runner-up at Warwick in July, can go well despite top weight. Ede's Dot Com landed a little race at Kempton in October, and was runner-up on his latest start on the all-weather. His last Turf run, at Brighton in the autumn, was good, and Ede's Dot Com can return to winning form for her inexperienced pilot.
