Rickety Bridge
Point winner RICKETY BRIDGE could be the type to do better over fences and is chanced on his chase debut. Storminhome ran a blinder in first-time blinkers at Southwell when last seen 2 months ago and another big effort could be on the cards with Harry Skelton up for the first time.

Winning hurdler who just lost out in 3m Southwell handicap chase 2 months ago, proving rejuvenated by the fitting of blinkers/return to positive tactics following a 7-week break. 2 lb higher here and ridden by Harry Skelton for the first time. Could be hard to catch if getting out in front.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell3m 60ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase2/6Windsor2m 6f 50ySoftChase9/10Chepstow2m 16yGood to SoftChase5/5Wetherby2m 5f 75yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase3/9Ascot2m 5f 8yGoodChase2/11- 1Elysian KnightJ: Sean BowenT: Neil Mulholland/P2434-Age 79/49/42/1

Dual winner over hurdles and creditable efforts over both sets of obstacles the last twice. Down in grade back over fences/in novice company and this test could suit him well.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPlumpton3m 217yGoodHurdle4/10Newbury2m 7f 91yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase3/7Newbury2m 7f 91yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase4/5Musselburgh2m 4f 68yGood to SoftChase2/6Chepstow2m 7f 136yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chasepu/6- 5Dyno DaveJ: James BowenT: Nicky Henderson/U451F-Age 811/49/45/2

Improved as he got off the mark in similar event at Exeter (3m) in March, jumping fine and knuckling down well. Still to be asked for any effort when crashing out at the thirteenth there next time, possibly put off by the leader making a mistake ahead of him. Retains potential.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosExeter3m 54yGood (Good to Firm in places)ChaseF/3Exeter3m 54yGood to SoftChase1/11Ludlow2m 7f 171ySoftChase5/7Ffos Las2m 7f 177yHeavy (Soft in places)Chase4/7Taunton2m 7f 3yGoodChaseur/10- 3Rickety BridgeJ: Freddie GingellT: Paul Nicholls24P/04-Age 713/27/115/2

Point winner/successful hurdler who should have come on for his 2 runs back this year (plugged on in first-time cheekpieces here latest).

Bumper/hurdles winner who posted some good efforts in defeat over fences last season and back in novice company now, although he'd probably benefit from more of a test.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosExeter2m 5f 137yGood to SoftHurdlepu/11Bangor-on-dee3m 5f 142ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase6/11Chepstow2m 7f 136ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase3/11Ffos Las2m 7f 177yHeavy (Soft in places)Chase2/7Ffos Las2m 7f 177yHeavyChase4/8
