A winner at 1m 2f. Finished 11l behind Bilidn when fourth of 11 at 8-1 on his latest outing here over 1m 6f last month. Runs from 7lb out of handicap.
Jamie Spencer is an interesting booking for David Bridgewater's Edgeworth, who narrowly missed out over this trip at Doncaster. However, a subsequent 3lb rise leaves him with no margin for error and of more appeal is SAINT THOMAS following his seasonal debut success over this C&D. John Mackie's gelding has a 2lb higher mark to contend with, but is entitled to strip fitter for that outing and deserves extra credit for coming from off the pace to score in a steadily-run affair. Wicked Spirit didn't have much luck in three trips to Dundalk last autumn but starts life with Mark Johnston off a handy mark.
