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)
