Verdict
Lucinda Russell won this last year and THE SQUINTY BRIDGE can follow suit for the yard. He's a half-brother to winning hurdler/chaser Herons Well and preferred to Alan Swinbank's Sir Harry Lewis gelding Fly Home Harry and Warriors Tale. Shanroe Boru is a half-brother to Kelso specialist Super Ally but will probably need a bit further than this in time.
