Wallace is primed to add to Bailey’s tally

KIM BAILEY’S run of success can continue with THE EDGAR WALLACE (1.32, nap) at Doncaster.

Bailey, right, celebrated his first Grade One since his glory days in 1995 with Master Oats and Alderbrook when First Flow went in at Ascot last Saturday.

David Bass, in First Flow’s saddle, partners the half-brother to the

2016 JLT Chase winner Black Hercules.

After showing smart bumper form, the gelding ran with promise on his hurdling debut when fourth behind Danny Kirwan at Ascot in November.

He can build on that experience and the first-time fitting of a tongue tie will enhance his chances. After some solid performances in defeat, IBLEO (2.05, treble) was rewarded when successful at Sandown earlier in the month.

This progressive individual can make light of his 7lb higher mark in this moderate contest. Sprinter Sacre’s brother FLINTEUR SACRE (3.10, nb) will benefit from the fitting of a hood for the first time.

The gelding refused to settle on his hurdling debut and under the circumstances finished a respectable fourth behind My Drogo at Newbury in November.
