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.
