Verdict

TOWER BRIDGE was a slow improver over fences last season but seemed to be getting the hang of things when finishing second at Cheltenham on his final start. If putting that experience to good use he may prove hard to peg back in the closing stages. The application of first-time blinkers is expected to help Cracking Smart who needed plenty of encouragement to get round on his chase debut at Limerick last time out. Should they do the trick then he should be capable of running a big race. Voix Des Tiep was a very consistent type over hurdles and if replicating that form over fences then he can run well.
