Verdict
BRIDGE OF SIGHS won a lowly Class 7 contest here before going close again in this grade last time. He gets the nod ahead of the other recent winner Spirit Of Gondree. The latter won at Wolverhampton and makes more appeal than the returning Goolagong Girl, who landed a double with a victory at Lingfield back in June. Muzaahim remains unexposed though has yet to threaten in handicaps but Jonnie Skull can pop-up at this level when the mood takes him and is not badly handicapped.
