TOM GREEN has already shown a liking for Sedgefield and soft ground so that combination will prove irresistible to many on this occasion. He’ll re-oppose old foe Cash Again having seen off Ben Haslam’s veteran a fortnight ago. Twoshotsoftequila has prevailed over hurdles here and it could be argued that he was a little unlucky in-running on his first try over these fences. Beat The Edge is a dour stayer that won’t be giving in easily while Ashjan is a previous winner here albeit off significantly lower marks.
