Winner off a 2lb lower mark last season. Has been waiting for the forecast faster ground but stable are without a NH winner this year.

5/4
Chased home the useful Speredek at Sandown before finishing last of five next time in desperate ground. That effort flatters him but underlines his chances in a race lacking depth. Has won four times and been second on a further 10 occasions. Goes well for today's rider and can give a better account with the cheekpieces back on.

Six time winner who has dropped below his last winning mark. Best form has come on much slower ground than he will encounter here.

Forecasts

Tara Bridge (11/10), Mr Muddle (5/4), Blandfords Gunner (13/8), Bredon Hill Lad (3/1)

Verdict

TARA BRIDGE was a ready winner last time and he has run well of higher marks than today's. He may have even more improvement to come and can account for Mr Muddle. Gary Moore's charge has his limitations but, off today's mark and on better ground, he can give his usual honest running. Blandford's Gunner is weighted to win a race of this nature but his yard have been struggling for winners over the past few months. He still makes more appeal than Bredon Hill Lad who would want more testing conditions.
  1. Tara Bridge
  2. Mr Muddle
  3. Blandfords Gunner
