I’VE GOT ED FOR HEIGHTS

NEWSBOY’S 1-2-3 1 EDWARD LEWIS 2 RAUCOUS 3 EASTERN IMPACT

EDWARD LEWIS should appreciate the return to six furlongs after an excellent fifth at Epsom on Derby day.

Twice successful since leaving John Gosden for David O’Meara, the fouryear-old finished strongly to take fifth to Caspian Duke Of Firenze Prince – Boom The was third and Groom

sixth – in the Dash three weeks ago.

Edward Lewis was chalked up the ante-post favourite for the big fivefurlong sprint at Musselburgh a week ago, but O’Meara opted to give Scotland a swerve and seek a big pot over six, a trip David Allan’s mount scored at during his time with Gosden.

My selection is 1lb higher today, but Edward Lewis, on whom rising star Josh Doyle claims a 3lb allowance, is a sprint handicapper who still has more to offer. Certificate,

Top weight tackling six furlongs for the first time, is interesting, along with the blinkered Raucous

and the reliable Eastern Impact.
