Evergreen Edredon set to give his rivals the blues

EVER-POPULAR veteran Edredon Bleu can bring the house down once again with victory in a cracking renewal of the William Hill Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter today.

Henrietta Knight’s 12-year-old goes in search of a third successive victory in the Grade Two contest but faces a tough test against the likes of reigning two-mile champion Azertyuiop.

However, ‘Blue’ gets 5lb from the Paul Nicholls-trained top-weight and he can make it count against a rival who may just need the run on what is only the starting point on the road back to the Festival.
