Close To The Edge is 6lb higher than when scoring at Pontefract in June and looks high enough in the weights now judged on her efforts since and BRAVO KING gets the nod. He ran out a four length winner of his maiden over today's trip last month then didn't seem to get home over 7f at Yarmouth. Chepstow's 5f proved inadequate on Wednesday and this looks his trip. Riverdale has proved best over 5f so far and Crimson Knot has just the one win in 21 starts. Lizzie scored over C&D last month but something was clearly amiss when tailed off on her latest start.
