Edgar was a fair second back over fences at Plumpton and remains on a winning mark but this is UNCLE BOBBY’s easiest task to date since he returned from a very long absence and it’s significant that Mick Easterby is persevering with him over fences. The Captain faced an impossible task here last month and makes more appeal than Kahdian.
