Verdict

ROBBER'S BRIDGE found some improvement when runner-up at Leicester on his latest outing, form which has worked out well, and he can build on that effort to go one better. Orange Diamond was in the process of running well over fences when departing last time, so he could be the main danger reverted to hurdling, ahead of C&D winner Daany.
