Proved as good as ever when making a winning return over hurdles last autumn and ended last term with brace of runner-up efforts in staying handicaps over fences at Taunton/Ffos Las in the spring. Had wind op ahead of return.

Multiple winner over hurdles/fences for Harry Whittington and, well backed, he ran a cracker back from 6 months off for new yard when second at Warwick (25.5f) 17 days ago, edged out near finish. Just the type this yard do well with. Respected.

Won twice in mares' events last season and proved at least as good as ever when running out 6.5 length winner on return at Wincanton (26.7f) in October, suited by the way the race developed. More on her plate up 7 lb in this stronger affair.

9/4
Promising sort who ended last season with brace of handicap chase victories at up to 3m at Wetherby in March and resumed with a good fourth at Ayr (20.5f) 3 weeks ago, not fluent last and staying on well. Remains unexposed at this sort of trip and he's one to be interested in.

Gained reward for his consistency when landing 10-runner Carlisle handicap chase (20f) in March before a fine second at Ayr (20.5f) in April. Encouraging reappearance fourth over that track/trip 3 weeks ago and he's unexposed granted this sort of test.

Grand servant to connections but out of sorts in recent months, again going with little fluency minus cheekpieces (refitted here) when failing to complete at Cheltenham (25f) 7 days ago. Best to look elsewhere until showing more encouraging signs.

15/2
Off the mark over fences when taking 5-runner novice at Warwick in March and going well when falling heavily 3 out on return at Perth (23.8f) in September (race won by Wasdell Dundalk). Unable to build fully on that run at Carlisle since but certainly not one to write off.

Has relished the step up to 3m over fences this season, completing a hat-trick at Perth in August/September. Runner-up on both outings at Carlisle since and another good showing anticipated for all his mark is creeping back up.

7/1
Much improved when bagging pair of small field mares' handicap chases early on last year but absent since falling at Fontwell in March 2022. Returns with yard in very good order and market support behind her would need to be viewed positively.

6/1
Displayed progressive form over hurdles/fences during 2021 and belied almost 2-year lay-off to post a smashing second (also had wind op) when runner-up at Wetherby (24.2f, heavy) 3 weeks ago. Remains low mileage and he may be up to building on that.

Forecasts

Famous Bridge (9/4), Credo (11/2), Bali Body (6/1), Eleanor Bob (7/1), Haute Estime (15/2), Docpickedme (9/1), Dubai Days (12/1), Wasdell Dundalk (12/1), Coconut Splash (12/1), Sidi Ismael (22/1), Cap Du Nord (33/1)

Verdict

FAMOUS BRIDGE shaped well, not least with a view to stepping back up to this trip, when staying on well for fourth at Ayr 3 weeks ago. Still unexposed granted a staying test, he's fancied to make a bold bid. Docpickedme ran a cracker to finish second on return/yard debut at Warwick 17 days ago and he's a threat, along with low-mileage 8-y-o Bali Body.
