Verdict

FAMOUS BRIDGE confirmed himself as being well handicapped when scoring in good style at Kelso last month and can take the step up in grade in his stride. The 6-y-o is open to further improvement and can get the better of Galia des Liteaux, who remains with potential after only 2 starts under Rules so far. Of the Irish challengers, The Goffer had been progressing steadily prior to his Cheltenham run last time and he can put that effort behind him.
