TUNBRIDGE WELLS is bred to be smart and produced a very promising first effort when second in a Navan maiden (5.8f) 18 days ago. The type to improve markedly, he looks to hold sound claims of going one place better with that under his belt. This Ain't Texas is another likely improver with his debut run behind him and is feared. Zambales and Girl Like You are a couple of the newcomers to note.
