Verdict
It could pay to stick with the unbeaten AJMAN BRIDGE in this. He returned from a lengthy absence with a victory at Pontefract on his handicap debut and can make up for lost time by going in again. A 6lb rise proved beyond Mahican at Yarmouth and Aussie Reigns makes more appeal on his latest third at Epsom. Cruck Realta has a shout on last week's second at Haydock but Breden has struggled off higher marks since landing a double over shorter trips earlier in the season.
