Verdict

A poor quality handicap hurdle to round off the card and NEVSKY BRIDGE is nominated to win it. A 7lb rise should not hinder the slection and with such poor opposition in against her, it may prove to side with her if she is turned out quickly. Drizzi had first time blinkers applied last time and they remain intact. Although beaten a long way last time by the eventual winner, he ran much better than his final finishing position suggests. Bullies Acre showed improved form on his return to action last time at this venue but will need to improve again while market support for the handicap debutant Storm Surge should be noted. Nevsky Bridge is a tentative selection to win it.
