Fisher Bridge showed a decent level of form in novice events over fences last season and won on the Flat in the summer. He made a promising reappearance over obstacles at Limerick earlier in the month and connections should have some fun with him this winter. But the logical choice is LENABANE, who has been competing at a much higher level and would be hard to beat here if anywhere near the form of his fourth to Burton Port in a Grade 2 at Aintree in the spring. Lucky Wish has looked out of his depth in his last two starts and is likely to find a few of these too strong as well but Lucky At Last's record over fences stands up to scrutiny, though this is easily his stiffest task to date.
