Verdict

Princesse Fleur won over track and trip last month but has failed to complete in both starts since. Stable companion Zayfire Aramis was pulled up last time at Ffos Las while Definite Future was beaten a long way when third at the same track. Trilerrin Minella reverted to type here last time while Bobble Boru has failed to build on a third at Perth in April. EDGAR was building on earlier promise when scoring at Stratford and this looks no tougher, despite a 7lb rise.
