Successful in three of her four starts to date under Rules, Kilconny Bridge never looked like being caught at Exeter last week having won a maiden over this sort of trip earlier at that track. She’s take some catching again, despite the penalty, but it’s about time JUST A THOUGHT was winning a race like this. Though 0-10 over hurdles, Emma Lavelle’s mare has placed in more competitive races than this and Bryan Carver is good value for his 5lb claim. Delight Of Dubai’s Lingfield win has been franked but she was well beaten next time at Kempton while Southwell scorer Whatsdastory couldn’t cope with a penalty at Newcastle. Wilde Spirit seems to like it here but needs some help from the handicapper.
