This looks all about the head-to-head between the Champion Bumper sixth HIGH BRIDGE and the smart handicapper from the Flat in Top Tug. The former made a really sound start to his hurdling career when winning easily at Newbury. Top Tug made a good start to his career over hurdles but struggled to progress last time when failing to give away a penalty and his form just doesn’t match that of High Bridge. The race lacks depth and most of the others are likely to end up in handicaps with Sigurd, Culmination and Minella Suite all of interest in that sphere in the future.
