Runner-up in Warwick novice on his hurdling bow before falling last (still close up) in 20f Ffos Las novice 54 days ago. Not ruled out if he brushes up his jumping.

Points winner but (2/1) he came in only fifth of 12 in bumper at Wetherby 14 days ago. Makes his hurdles debut and should still do better.

Has shown fair form on both his runs over hurdles, eighth of 10 in 20f novice at Newbury 26 days ago. Needs to progress further if he's to trouble the principals here, though.

Forecasts

Bridge North (5/4), Has Troke (3/1), Moonlight Flit (4/1), The Boola Boss (7/1), Phantom Getaway (9/1), Landen Calling (16/1), Hooky Street (28/1), Outback Frontiers (125/1), Teddy The Knight (125/1), Deal Em High (125/1)

Verdict

BRIDGE NORTH arrives on the up and is confidently expected to build on his fine C&D second and open his account at the fourth attempt. Both Has Troke and Moonlight Flit were running well when taking final-flight falls at Market Rasen and Ffos Las respectively and look the two to give Henry Daly's 6-y-o most to do, in that order.

  1. BRIDGE NORTH (IRE)
  2. HAS TROKE (FR)
  3. MOONLIGHT FLIT (IRE)
