Verdict
Just 1-20, Edison Kent has become frustrating to follow but a drop in trip could suit this hard-puller. James Owen is trying to strike while the iron is hot with Enthused, who was winning for the fourth time in five starts at Huntingdon on Tuesday. But he is penalised whereas CHAOS CONTROL has been dropped a further pound since his latest third at Uttoxeter. Bashers Reflection won three times last season and Ilanz could also figure if fully wound-up but French import Bonheur De Ballon is best watched on this occasion.
