Verdict

WIZARDS BRIDGE should have his conditions here having won over slightly shorter last time. We know he stays and his slight rise in the weights seems fair, especially as he could have won by further but for a mistake at the last. He looks the most feasible option, ahead of Goring One, who should also be suited by the longer trip in front of the runners today, as well as Flight Commander, who has lost his way over fences but could recapture some of his best form in first time blinkers.
  1. Wizards Bridge
  2. Goring One
