Verdict

BOTHWELL BRIDGE is given a chance to build on his fifth in a competitive heat at Sandown with Sean O'Briain, who has partnered a couple of winners in recent days, taking a handy 10 lb off. The consistent Spike Jones and last week's Exeter scorer Halifax are likely to be thereabouts, while Emitom is worth a betting check on first outing for new trainer Alan King.
