Verdict

BANBRIDGE ran to a smart level on just his second start over fences when winning a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last month, already showing himself a better chaser than hurdler, and looks the one to beat on that form. There are plenty of potential improvers/dangers, headed by Gordon Elliott's Grade 1 winning hurdlers Three Stripe Life and Mighty Potter.
