Cliffcake looked one paced dropped to 5f at Lingfield so we’ll take a chance on FIRST EDITION as Clive Cox’ two-year-olds have generally been improving for a run and the son of Invincible Spirit was particularly green here on debut, though still finished fourth. Papas Girl is back at a more realistic level and should find a small race before the season is out.
