Edge Of Darkness
4-20 on turf but hasn't won since 2023; not a bad run over 2m at Listowel (2m, good) after missing the break latest; more needed back in trip, but positive rider booking.

From the connections
“The only question mark was the ground as Edge Of Darkness won on heavy last time. He's not had much racing and is just finding his feet really - Charlie Johnston, trainer.”
