Verdict
O'Hanrahan Bridge tried to run this finish out of his rivals here last month but had no answer to Barrowlands in the closing stages. The winner didn’t frank the form next time and Donald McCain's former pointer will likely struggle to contain INDUNO. David Pipe’s bumper winner rallied to beat Stonific over 2m1f here on his hurdling debut and the extra distance today is likely to bring about further improvement. Evander has a couple of seconds to his name and is another who will be suited by this step up in distance but Forewarning, a stayer on the Flat, hasn’t taken to jumping.
