By The Edge is forwarded as the one to be on in this tricky maiden where Mickleberry and Earl Compton are others that can be expected to take a hand if they run to form. The last named, although heading the official BHB ratings, does need to prove that he has trained on after a modest reappearance at Lingfield 9 days ago. That said, this is a much weaker race and big run cannot be ruled out. Mickleberry has been in good heart of late and merits plenty of respect in this company. He represents a yard that have been profitable to follow with their raids on Wolverhampton prize money, so a market move could be significant. However, a form line through Beechside give By The Edge a slight advantage on these terms and, as the daughter of Shinko Forest looks a tad more consistent, she appears to be most reliable option on this occasion.
