BRAVO TEAM travels over from Ireland having won a maiden hurdle at Clonmel in March. He finished lame when disappointing subsequently but Gordon Elliott’s charge may prove the one to beat in this if fully recovered. Curley Finger has left the latter’s yard and debuts over timber for new connections while bumper winner Spanish Present also makes his hurdling debut. Charlie Uberalles has placed in point-to-points while Domandlouis was still going well when falling two out over a shorter trip here.
