Lord Murphy is regularly placed at this level and won here back in April while Irish raider Texas Radio finished third over 7f at the track last week. But EDGE was beaten less than a length at Bath last time, with Ferrier well beaten, and Bernard Llewellyn’s charge may prove good enough racing off the same mark today. Amherst Rock finished closer at Newcastle last month without threatening and makes most appeal of the remainder.
