Race preview

Presuming Ed steps up in class following a promising second at Ludlow on his most recent outing and he could have a say in proceedings despite being 3lb out of the handicap. That said, CAP DU MATHAN lost little in defeat at Wincanton most recently and could improve today. In Excelsis Deo makes both his stable and chasing bow on his return to action and is another to consider.
