Verdict

OUD METHA BRIDGE is getting closer with every outing and was beaten less than a length upped to a mile at Lingfield last time. Ed Dunlop’s colt can open his account in this at the main expense of The Grey Warrior. The latter was fourth at Redcar on his debut back in October and that looks stronger form than Prancing Oscar’s fifth at the same track earlier last year. The remainder have shown little so far though Zacchetto is another returning from an absence and a much better effort from him would be no surprise.
