SHARJA BRIDGE will likely prove popular in this having been beaten less than a length over track and trip on his racecourse debut. The first two home have both subsequently won so the form looks rock-solid and Roger Varian’s colt can open his account in this modest company. Euqranian never looked like catching the winner when runner-up at Windsor and Soldier Blue showed no progress at Newcastle last time. Long Socks finished a long way behind the selection and the remainder make even less appeal.
