Punter's benefit as Maria's completes stylish hat-trick for Edmunds

Maria's Benefit was the star turn of a punters' benefit in Shropshire, where she was one of four favourites to oblige on an eventful afternoon.

The even-money chance was up 10lb for her previous romp at Sandown, but you would not have known it given the way she made most to slam second favourite Late Night Lily.

The five-year-old was completing a hat-trick under regular partner Ciaran Gethings but evidently is not finished yet.
