Ballinslea Bridge (10/11), Classic Ben (5/4), Stonebrigg Legend (14/1), Craigmor (16/1)

Verdict

This looks like an ideal starting place over hurdles for BALLINSLEA BRIDGE, a point-to-point winner in Ireland with two fine efforts in bumpers since joining this trainer. The champion jockey just failed to get him up last time at Newcastle but he showed a willing attitude in a rousing finish and that bodes well now. Equally promising is Classic Ben, also second in both bumper runs for his new handler. He did however fail to get around twice in point-to-points and that is enough to sway that vote against him. Craigmor and Stonebrigg Legend both have hurdling experience in their favour but they haven't shown anything to suggest they'll hold the newcomers.
