THE EDGAR WALLACE should make it third-time lucky in this after placed efforts in more competitive bumpers at Exeter and Doncaster. Ocean Drifter won a maiden point at Lingtown in November before joining Oliver Sherwood while Getaway Withit hinted at ability at Newbury in January. Mister Watson is Flat bred but is a half-brother to a winning hurdler so worth a market check.
