Edison Kent is a little one-paced but has had wind surgery since his third at Fakenham. The return to a longer trip should suit Lifetime Legend while Kiss My Face was second on the Tapeta last month. Immortal Fame and BURROWS HALL are closely matched on their 1-2 at Doncaster last month but the runner-up looked a bit unlucky and can reverse the placings. Just Loose Change has yet to strike form this season so Awesome Foursome may be the pick of the remainder ahead of Fazayte.
