Most of the older brigade here win in their turn but this could prove a case of the three-year-olds holding sway, of which FIRGROVE BRIDGE makes greatest appeal. He looked to be ideally suited by 6f on quick ground when scoring at Doncaster in a competitive handicap last month and can defy a 7lb rise providing the rains stay away. Classic Flyer was below par last time but two previous wins put him bang in the picture, whilst the Goldie pair of recent winner Goninodaethat and Order Of Service command interest and are preferred in that order.
