C Bolger
Jim Best
Placed in four hurdle races, two NH flat races and a chase from 37 starts. Beaten 5l by Dream Performance when second of 8 at 8-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Wincanton over 2m (good to soft) last month.
Red Law is respected on his return from a 393-day absence but Mark Gillard's charge is entitled to strip fitter for the run and, with that in mind, it is KNAPP BRIDGE BOY who gets the nod. The veteran bounced right back to form over the C&D last month and is expected to go one better this afternoon with a bit of juice in the ground. Of the others, Whatshallwedo failed to justify favouritism at Fontwell latest but isn't completely out of it with 5lb claimer Michael Byrne aboard.
