In depth

Verdict

EDGE OF BLUE (NAP) is penalised for making a winning debut at Yarmouth but had a subsequent winner back in third and Charlie Appleby’s charge can go in again in this company. Firing Squad returned a beaten favourite at Thirsk and a visor is applied while All Is Fair is upped in trip having also disappointed over 5f when sent favourite at Carlisle. The remainder are harder to recommend with True Blue Gent preferred.
