Very hard to be bullish about any of these, with BEAT THE EDGE perhaps arriving in the most solid form despite his reluctant nature. Toombridge can race from his "proper" mark this time and isn't discounted after a good effort at Kelso last month, with Pilgrims King also considered having scored on his penultimate outing.
