In depth
Verdict
Bomb Proof has been lightly raced but a first try over 6f at Redcar failed to deliver concrete evidence that the trip suited. Triggered hasn’t won since his two-year-old days and he never threatened the first two when third at Windsor last month. MOUNTAIN BRAVE is still paying the price for victories at Leicester and Windsor last year but the going here will suit and he only weakened close home on his reappearance at Chelmsford. Blackheath may be best of the rest ahead of Danzan as this trip looks too short for Northernpowerhouse and Via Serendipity.
