Destroyer Deployed scored on his racecourse debut at Towcester with Vincentian 11 lengths behind in third place and looks sure to go close again despite his penalty. However, a chance is taken on CAMAS BRIDGE, who finished second in an Irish point-to-point race last October. He was beaten just over a length on that occasion by the well regarded Trustan Times, who has since won over hurdles at Wetherby, and Emma Lavelle's charge is taken to make a winning debut here. Traditional Bob was still going well when brought down in a bumper at Wincanton last time and makes most appeal of the remainder.
