FAT FACED COLUMBO shaped well on his chasing bow when a clear runner-up at Exeter (form been franked) and can build on it here to go one better and thwart House of Habsburg who also has better days ahead of him judged on his promising Warwick second. Henry Daly has captured two of the last three runnings of this so his Mythe Bridge must enter calculations too along with Dan Skelton's chasing debutant Delgany Deadline and in-form maiden Try The Money.
