It's most unlikely that Bridge Mountain will become a stable star though he's shown some improvement in each start to date and this isn't a strong race. He was made to look one-paced behind Bob Le Beau at Naas last week but the slightly longer trip may be in his favour. Foolish Comment stayed on nicely on his reappearance over 1m2f at Navan and will have come on for the run but LADY L could be the one to be on. David Wachman's filly looked a little short of pace when fourth to Anaverna over a mile here a fortnight ago but stayed on nicely and will be suited by the extra. Hot Sand has run well without quite getting there and it would be a surprise if he didn't get competitive.
