Verdict
A Bridge Too Far was only run out of it in the latter stages at Haydock last time and could appreciate a return to a shorter trip, though looks plenty high enough in the weights now. Blue Nymph is 9lb higher than when successful at Doncaster in March, while Gilded Age and Moose Moran have become disappointing. Toshi ran no sort of race at Perth last time and Kai Broon will do well to complete his hat-trick from out of the handicap proper so this looks a good opportunity for LATERLY to add to recent successes. Steve Gollings' trail-blazer jumped much better at Southwell last time and, though that form is nothing special, could lead his rivals a merry dance here off a comparatively low weight.
