Verdict
WILD EDRIC has raced over course and distance twice now and won on both occasions. He scored by four lengths last week and an apprentice’s allowance reduces a 6lb penalty. Richard Kingscote rode the latter last time and gets the leg-up on Chelmsford second Baby Steps today while Swiss Pride landed a claimer over track and trip last month and Creek Harbour was placed in plating company here more recently. Take Fright finished runner-up over 7f at the track a fortnight ago and Astrospeed landed a double over the same distance at Kempton before struggling at Leicester.
