WAADY may have the edge in this with a run under his belt. He made a winning return at Nottingham and Dane O'Neill sticks with the course and distance maiden winner rather than Mukhmal. Profitable also won his maiden here and kept good company afterwards. He looks a threat on his return while Thahab has a pipe-opener under his belt but it was no more than that given he beat little in a maiden at Chelmsford and this is a much tougher test. Recent Wolverhampton winner Dark Side Dream steps up in class and has the beating of Dangerous Moonlite while Zeb Un Nisa will also need to improve on last year's form to figure.
