Easy for Edge at Sligo

Definitive Edge ran out a smooth winner of the Bet On Course With Tote Maiden Hurdle on his jumping bow. The son of Overbury scored by a comfortable twelve lengths in the hands of Ruby Walsh.

It may have taken the gelding five attempts to win a bumper but after gaining the winning habit at Ballinrobe seventeen days back this came easy for the nine to four favourite which sports the Imperial Commander silks of the Friends In The North Syndicate.

Walsh said of the Willie Mullins-trained winner: "He was bit novicey early but fine when he warmed up."
