Winner of a point-to-point at the second time of asking in March last year. Signs of promise over 2m4f when a 22L fourth on debut at Aintree in October. Disappointed the following month and likely to run well back on better ground here..
Maiden after nine career outings. Pulled up four times prior to finishing a well beaten tenth in a first time tongue tie at Taunton in December and likely to struggle here.
Beaten 11L when finishing runner-up over an extended 2m3f at Hereford (soft) in November. Fair handicap debut at Wincanton upped in trip subsequently but disappointed in a maiden hurdle at Taunton last month. Also placed at Newton Abbot this season and likely to prove hard to beat if repeating earlier efforts.
Beaten 30L when finishing third on soft ground at Leicester in January. Well beaten at Newbury since and likely to fair better once tackling handicap company.
Beaten 34L in first time tongue tie and hood for a maiden hurdle at Taunton last month. Finished in fourth place on that occasion but looks likely to prove capable of better in this.
Winner of a maiden point-to-point at the fourth time of asking in Ireland on good-to-firm ground in May last year. Attempted to make all but pulled up on his rules debut at Market Rasen last week and probably best watched here.
Started big prices for all three starts to date. Wore a first time tongue tie (retained here) when 31L fifth on her hurdling debut at Huntingdon earlier this month. Worth a check in the market here.

Abbotswood (11/10), Bradford Bridge (13/8), Barbrook Star (8/1), Midnight Merlot (12/1), Sugar Storm (12/1), Speedalong (16/1), West To Crossgales (50/1), Annie'sboydave (100/1)
BRADFORD BRIDGE is taken to put a disappointing effort in a maiden hurdle over 2m3f behind him by taking this opening contested dropping down in trip. The selection is currently rated 115 following a disappointing effort last time out but his yard are in good form at present (6/27) and he can get the better of Abbotswood who ran well in a maiden hurdle at Aintree in October with Speedalong another to note following a fourth placed finished last time out.
