OLD BRIDGE showed enough in 2 hurdles starts for Gordon Elliott to suggest he can take this ordinary contest on stable debut, in receipt of a useful looking 4-y-o weight allowance. Main danger Blackwater Lilly has run with credit in a couple of maiden/novice hurdles and could have a big say in first-time cheekpieces. Of the rest, point runner-up City of Diamonds may step forward from his Rules debut now sent hurdling.
