On The Bridge can race off the same mark as when third over track and trip and should give another good account. But ROYALE DJANGO is just preferred as Tim Vaughan's charge was winning over timber at Southwell in March and has since landed a double over fences. There should be more to come from Fort Worth and Dawn Commander scored off a higher mark at Warwick in April and is not easily dismissed. Cut The Corner has been getting closer and found only one too good here on his penultimate start.
