Charlie Appleby’s yard has been notching up the winners this year and KINVER EDGE is expected to add his name to the list by landing this. The Godolphin charge wasn’t beaten far when only fourth at Chelmsford on his debut having faded in the closing stages and normal progress can see him off the mark. War Tiger looks the main threat having run well here before placing at Newcastle recently but Gino Wotimean disappointed over track and trip on his latest start. The newcomer Withoutdestination has already been gelded but is a half-brother to a winner over middle-distances in Italy.
