The Last Bridge is a stout stayer but needs plenty of urging and seems to respond best to Richard Johnson. Magical Man has been placed over 3m but both wins have come over 2m5f at Ffos Las and he blotted his copybook there last time when departing at the second. Try It Sometime's only win over fences came when left on his own at Uttoxeter in January and he's been well beaten since but Midnight Jade arrives in decent form and is lightly raced. KILCASCAN has been paying his way around Southwell this winter but has won here in the past and will probably handle conditions better than some of these.
