Although London Bridge requires plenty of respect now significantly down in grade the form horse seems to be SEQUILLO who is still weighted to win this while Rockfella isn't ruled out either. The pick was denied the hat-trick by the narrowest of margins in a better race last time and racing off of the same mark against slightly weaker opposition he should run a very big race. London Bridge has been a little outclassed when contesting much better races than this in his last two starts and now back in the grade which saw him score in maiden company should have him back on form. Rockfella is up four pounds for a neck success and while on the surface that seems prohibitive he did lose ground at the start after rearing in the stalls so he is entitled to challenge again. Sumani has hit a bit of form but is still waiting for a favour from the assessor so in a tight looking contest Sequillo seems the best treated.
