    Verdict

    Crystal Glory was a smart novice hurdler last season and was an instant hit over fences at Hexham, winning by 20 lengths. Gold Cup Bailly is 2-2 over the lager obstacles and clearly useful but it might be worth forgiving IRON BRIDGE a lifeless display at Chepstow as he’d previously been unbeaten under Rules and is well regarded.
