Held up in last, took keen hold, mistake 3 out, headway on inside before 2 out, switched left between last 2, led last, nudged out, readily op 8/13 tchd 4/7
Benny's Bridge (4/6), Yaa Salaam (13/8), Welland (16/1), Rockwood (33/1), Shelfield (100/1), W S Gilbert (250/1)
Yaa Salaam made a very encouraging hurdles debut at Ffos Las, but he will need to improve on that to beat the more battle-hardened BENNY'S BRIDGE, for whom Fergal O'Brien looks to have found a good opportunity. Shelfield and Rockwood can probably compete for minor honours.
