Verdict

A fair novices' hurdle and the vote goes to BENNY'S BRIDGE who landed a bumper here on his only previous visit. He has already shown hurdles ability and can get off the mark this time. Main danger looks to be Champagne Mystery who represents a top yard and had no luck at all at Aintree on his Rules debut earlier this month. Imperial Knight, War Brigade and Johnny Rocco are others of interest.
  1. Benny's Bridge
  2. Champagne Mystery
  3. Imperial Knight
