Twenty nine runs since last win in 2018. 17/2, shaped better than distance beaten suggests when sixth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Well handicapped on old form.
|
C&D winner. 16/1, fifth of 12 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 2 days ago. Respected back here if turned out again quickly.
|
Off 8 months, run best excused when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 25/1) 10 days ago, racing far side. Others still preferred.
|
C&D winner, successful here in April. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 16/1) 10 days ago.
|
11/10, possibly needed run after 5 months off (had wind op) when fifth of 8 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Leading contender.
|
Twenty four runs since last win in 2017. Again below form when 3 lengths seventh of 9 to Lord of The Glen in handicap (6/1) at this C&D (good) 14 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time.
|
17/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 5 days ago, driven out. Could go well under a penalty.
|
6/1, stepped up on return when won 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago. Might be vulnerable in his follow-up bid.
|
Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Blinkered for 1st time, ½-length sixth of 9 to Lord of The Glen in handicap at this C&D (good, 18/1) 14 days ago. More needed.
|
10/3, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 30 days ago, always holding on. Can make another bold bid.
|
10/1, best effort for a while when close fourth of 9 to Lord of The Glen in handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs to be able to build on that effort.
|
Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. 7¾ lengths seventh of 8 to Sixcor in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm, 66/1) 5 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.
|
Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 28/1, 5¾ lengths eighth of 9 to Lord of The Glen in handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago. Visored for 1st time.

Forecasts
Bridgetown (7/2), Sixcor (11/2), Deevious Beau (11/2), The Gloaming (11/2), Eeh Bah Gum (13/2), Lord Of The Glen (10/1), Mokaman (10/1), Koropick (14/1), Dan De Light (22/1), Stroxx (22/1), Earn Your Stripes (33/1), Grandads Best Girl (50/1), Summer Heights (80/1)
BRIDGETOWN was often strong in the betting last season and it was the same again on his reappearance when he possibly needed the run more than expected. With that effort behind him though the 4-y-o could be set for a big performance on his second start since a wind op. He can see off the challenge of the pair of last-time-out winners Deevious Beau and Sixcor to open his own account.
