Verdict

TARA BRIDGE made all in a four-runner race at Stratford in which only two finished. He’s 4lb higher here but only faces three rivals again and can follow up for an in-form yard. Mr Muddle doesn’t win often but a quicker surface is in his favour and he may provide the biggest threat as Blandfords Gunner hasn’t pulled up any trees this season. Bredon Hill Lad really needs it softer and was well held when falling here last month.
