London Bridge, a Newmarket maiden winner for John Gosden in May last year, is expected to do well for Noel Meade despite being brought down on his only start over hurdles. Tadhg has shown some promise while Under The Arch has done well in bumpers and looks one to follow over timber though hurdling experience and recent form points to THE BULL HAYES. Jessica Harrington's charge, twice a winner on the Flat, looked sure to win soon when runner-up to Si C'Estait Vrai on his debut at Naas last month where he led for much of the way and jumped well. Marlos Moment contested some quality events in his first season and it will be a big surprise if he doesn't pick up a maiden in the near future while Takasima is certain to have come on for a nice introduction here a couple of weeks ago.
