Oud Metha Bridge has won twice around here but had every chance behind Goddess Of Fire when the latter won here in August. John Ryan's filly couldn't handle the step-up to Class 4 company here last time while Precisely, who completed a Bath double at this time a year ago, hasn't run since. MAGNETISED beat Goddess Of Fire over this trip at Brighton and didn't handle the step-up to 1m2f back there next time and can get back to winning ways though Fashion Free should make a bold bid to add to her Nottingham victory from just 2lb higher.
