Novabridge has won six times on the all-weather but has yet to race on this surface. Misu Moneypenny was behind EXCELLENT AIM over 6f here last time but the latter had gone close over today’s trip before that. A course and distance winner, it could be the turn of George Margarson’s charge once again today and he’s closely matched with Red Flute on collateral form. The latter separated higher rated horses in a three-runner seller here a fortnight ago and finished just ahead of Roy's Legacy when third at Lingfield earlier. Under Approval looks up against it on his return to action.
