Verdict

A fair bit of potential on show here, but FAMOUS BRIDGE showed enough when runner-up on his hurdling bow at Carlisle to suggest he can go one better now. High Stakes was successful in points and a bumper in Ireland so rates an interesting prospect on his debut in this sphere for Warren Greatrex, while Kelso-scorer Corrigeen Rock and Irish-debutant Ballycoose both figure high on the shortlist too.
