Verdict
Henryhudsonbridge steps up a grade off a higher mark having won at Leicester recently. It was soft ground when Double Czech went close here over a mile and also when he won at Windsor before that while Golden Wedding has been thereabouts of late but is now 8lb higher than when scoring at Kempton in April. LIVING LEADER makes little appeal on recent form but he won this contest last year off a 5lb higher mark and also has a talented apprentice’s allowance in his favour today - he may come good again.
