Verdict
Shaws Bridge makes his chasing debut 10lb higher than when scoring over hurdles at Perth while Millarville has yet to win a chase in nine attempts and is fitted with blinkers after placing at Kelso. BROADWAY JOE made a winning debut over the larger obstacles when scoring at Kelso on last month’s reappearance and there looks more to come from him over fences. Avoid De Master finished closer at Perth last time and is less exposed than Emirat De Catana.
