WEST LEAKE BRIDGE has a rating of 81 and it will take a decent one to overhaul him today; Cape Of Dance and Cuckney Bear might be the newcomers who give him the most problems. Barry Hills' colt ran well in defeat at Leicester last month, filling second spot behind a fairly impressive newcomer. With that form having a solid feel to it and unlikely to be inconvenienced by the softer ground today he should take top billing. Supermarine, Tigerino and Yachtmaster all need to improve markedly on debut runs, and a bigger threat could be Cape Of Dance. Mark Johnston's two-year-old's are starting to warm up and this Cape Cross filly is bred to be smart, albeit probably as a three-year-old. Cuckney Bear looks another interesting contender on debut; any market support for Ed McMahon's colt would arouse interest and he cannot be ignored. Cruise Tothelimit and Good Timin need to improve on just modest runs at Wolverhampton, with the former's form looking slightly stronger, however this looks a good chance for West Leake Bridge to break his duck.
