      Verdict

      BENNY’S BRIDGE should be a warm order reverting to novice company in this. He was a decisive winner of a Cheltenham handicap in December and far from disgraced in the Imperial Cup at Sandown after a break when probably given too much to do. David Pipe’s string seems to be running into form so Ffos Las third Yaa Salaam looks the danger as Flat winner Rockwood will have his stamina to prove.
