TOWER BRIDGE gave notice of better to come when storming clear in a Ballinrobe bumper then cruised home at Bellewstown. He's bred for the Flat but ,if taking to hurdles, should be difficult to beat. His owner is also represented by Ten Ten, who has a proper jumps pedigree and will have come on markedly for his debut over timber at Gowran. Gordon Elliott has two jumping newcomers and Falak, a winner for Roger Varian at Nottingham in July, looks to have a bit more scope than Suitor, who won just once for Brian Ellison in 13 starts. Dis Donc looks a big threat after just failing to hold Vengeful in a driving finish at Thurles. A dual bumper winner in France, he hails from a yard going well and it will be a surprise if he's not there at the finish.
