Fame And Concrete has proved consistent over hurdles so far but was a beaten favourite at Lingfield last month off today’s mark. Bridge Road is only 1-14 over timber and has only run over this trip once before but can’t be ignored. JET LEGS (NAP) was a bit unlucky over course and distance two runs ago and got going too late when runner-up again behind Saturday’s Doncaster winner Apple Away at Ayr last month. In-form Theo Gillard takes over the reins today and claims a handy 3lb. Shot Boii may be a few pounds too high now but continues to run well while Perculator makes his handicap debut. Kadex ran his best race in this country when second at Doncaster but has been raised 3lb.
