Verdict
A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for LONE STAR who is taken to quickly resume winning ways on the back of a very good recent C&D second. Final Edgar is weighted to go well and heads the list of dangers, while Lord Warburton and Jumping Jupiter are also in the picture. Clear Storm completes the shortlist.
