Double Header ran his bestrace for a while and maybe this faster surface helped. He is on a winnable mark at present and there might be a poor contest in him.
Dusty Dane boasts just one win in 20 starts, while Ede’s was chasing a five-timer, but the ground drying out and a much higher mark did not seem to help as he never really got competitive. He is due to go up another 6lb from the weekend so things really do get a lot harder now.
