Tamar Bridge only won a match at Ayr in March but has the edge in experience over most of his rivals, though is also penalised. Wolf Run caught the eye at Uttoxeter, despite running green, but this could go to a hurdling newcomer. HIDDEN HEROICS, who won a maiden point in April, could cap a good day for the Skelton team even though Kalmoor is also interesting having finished second in a Huntingdon bumper on his only start to date.
