      Verdict

      Tara Bridge won at Stratford when last in action and is 4lb higher on his reappearance while Not Never also returns from a lay-off having finished second at Southwell last summer. A winner at Fontwell when beating Sixties Idol, Soulsaver has the more recent form but that was on fast ground and LANDSCAPE is preferred. The latter was beaten only a neck over course and distance last time and can go one better in this with Richard Johnson taking over the reins.
