Formscan  - BEAT THE EDGE appeared to idle when collared on the run-in at Market Rasen earlier this month and compensation could be on the cards. The eight-year-old makes plenty of appeal racing off an unchanged mark and the sharp nature of this track may suit. The biggest threat could emerge from Toombridge, who arrives on the back of a good second at Kelso, although the down-in-class Whoshotthesheriff shouldn't be underestimated either.
