      Verdict

      Wizard Of Edge is the selection in a competitive enough affair with Carnt Spell and Treasulier sought as the obvious alternatives. The eight-year-old is a previous winner around this track and with soft going obtaining, he has a solid chance of regaining the winning thread for today's drop in grade. Carnt Spell holds no secrets so his latest victory was something of a surprise. That improvement was put down to a step up in trip and connections continue to ply their trade over this longer distance. Proven mudlark, Treasulier often places and sadly for connections, the handicapper takes note as a consequence. A record of one chase success from 26 is unfortunate given that he has hit the frame a further 15 times. Xila Fontenailles is unproven over today's trip. Jaloux D'Estruval has shown little since leaving Lavinia Taylor. Plenty of imponderables in this race and Wizard Of Edge is the call to minimum stakes.
