Verdict

Chepstow second BENNY'S BRIDGE didn’t get far at Ascot next time but that was in a much better race than this- a clear round could see Fergal O’Brien’s charge gain compensation. War Brigade found only a previous winner too good over a longer trip here on his hurdles bow and the drop in distance shouldn’t place as much emphasis on stamina. Imperial Knight’s bumper form was solid enough and he’ll be a threat to all if taking to hurdles while Champagne Mystery was a clear leader when forced off the track at Aintree, though was very novicey himself and may need more time. Plumpton third Johnny Rocco looks best of the rest ahead of Mistiroc.
