COUNT MONTECRISTO will be a prohibitive odds after three second-place efforts over longer trips where he's only faded close home. He's impossible to oppose though the filly Edge of Love is capable of better after just two runs, the latest when not beaten far at Doncaster in April. Milu Magic finished third of four over the minimum trip here last month but that was a massive improvement on her opening run while Anieres Boy led for a long way over this trip at Redcar before fading.
