Verdict
SOUND AND VISION gets in here under a light weight for the shrewd Ed Walker yard and might not be done improving yet following a deserved success over C&D last month. Assuming she can reproduce that form on this easier ground, the daughter of Starman boasts as good chance as any in this competitive sprint finale. Robert Anstruther is holding his form well and commands respect, while On Edge was back to winning ways at Sandown and joins the unexposed George Wickham on the shortlist.
