EDLOMOND is taken to follow up last month's course and distance victory off a 6lb higher mark. The grey still gets a couple of pounds from Chankillo, who reserves his best for Market Rasen and was winning for the third time at the Lincolnshire track last month when 7lb lower. Bollin Line looks a shade high in the weights at present but reverts to his best trip and he makes more appeal than Trapper Peak and Stormbay Bomber.
