Verdict

GLORY BRIDGE displayed more than previously over hurdles (on back of a wind op) when runner-up in a C&D novice 2 weeks ago and, with further progress anticipated now handicapping, he could be worth chancing to take another step forward now. Half The Freedom, a winner over C&D on the same card, is an obvious threat however, whilst Bashful is another making the shortlist.

  1. GLORY BRIDGE (IRE)
  2. HALF THE FREEDOM
  3. BASHFUL
