WEST OF THE EDGE (NAP) reverts to hurdles off a 6lb lower mark than when completing a double over fences at Carlisle eight days ago and has obvious claims if transferring his improvement back over the smaller obstacles. Mango Cap was third over a shorter trip here in October off today’s mark and ran in better company next time at Ffos Las. Presence Felt’s win at Wetherby has been franked while Tiger Mountain was clear of the third when runner-up at Sedgefield and is unexposed. Plus Jamais hasn’t run over hurdles in almost two years and returns off a 5lb higher mark.
