This is a step up in class for GALATA BRIDGE but he's one of few in this line-up who doesn't have form/fitness queries against him and might be up to defying a small rise. Finisk River represents last year's winning trainer/jockey combination and could be a threat if ready to roll after 7 months off. Fergal O'Brien pair Accidental Rebel and Merry Berry, who has a good strike-rate but hasn't been seen for 12 months, are others to consider.
