Edison set to light up Galway

Ante-post favourite Thomas Edison heads owner JP McManus’ assault on the Guinness Galway Hurdle at the Ballybrit track on Thursday.

The powerful owner could have his colours carried by four horses in the valuable handicap, though the Charlie Longsdon-trained Vulcanite cannot be regarded as a certain runner as he was set to take his chance in the Galway Plate on Wednesday afternoon.
