Verdict

Kalca Mome can get the better of Bonus Bridge in an interesting novice chase. The selection was second to Bonus Bridge in a similar event last time, beaten two-and-a-half lengths, but is now seven pounds better off and can gain his revenge. Valleymore should win chases but fell on his fencing debut. This race should restore his confidence, being run as it is over a trip short of his best. Brooklyn's Gold is a respectable hurdler but, on his chasing debut, might have to settle for place money. Once again, then, the selection is Kalca Mome.
