      Verdict

      Bothwell Bridge never gave supporters a moment’s worry when landing the odds at Warwick and looks one to follow. But he might find BRAVEMANSGAME a tough nut crack on this occasion. The latter was also odds-on last time at Exeter and eased home with the minimum of fuss. As a former winning pointer, he should be even more effective over this longer trip. Flat winner Diocletian could also benefit from this step up in distance after his fourth at Taunton but a step up to 3m is probably already on the cards for Es Perfecto and Aintree scorer Real Stone may struggle in this better race.
