Ryan Moore is on board Bursting Bubbles who showed some potential on Polytrack last year and will be better for his handicap debut at Wolverhampton, though he'll need to improve markedly from that. Michael Bell won this back in 2005 with a maiden and Bridgehampton is likely to attract support now tackling handicaps and a distance more suited to the pedigree of a relative of Ascot Gold Cup winner Fame And Glory. CHEVIOT QUEST is another certain to be suited by middle-distances and showed on his return to action over 1m2f at Nottingham that he's ready to win soon and this could be his day. Flashman started favourite on his reappearance at Leicester but played up at the start and was eventually well beaten. He should do better but may be best watched for now.
