Fairly useful bumper winner KINGSTON BRIDGE was held back by some novicey jumping on his Kelso hurdling debut, but if he's learnt from that, he looks to have plenty going for him in a much weaker race here. Bellaney Lord and Thistle Ask both have a bit to prove after running poorly on their most recent starts but are obvious threats on the pick of their form.
