The Last Bridge was soon off the bridle behind Mission Complete over 3m5f at Warwick last time and it's hard to see him turning the tables even though the winner is 8lb higher here. Jonjo O'Neill's gelding won't be far away if in the same mood but this is a new trip for Magical Man and Bangor runner-up Mist The Boat still has plenty to prove over fences. QULINTON can be a bit of a monkey but he's a thorough stayer who is starting to look well treated. He'll enjoy today's quicker conditions and could well give supporters a run for their money at decent odds.
