Verdict

WEST TO THE BRIDGE, beaten a nose on his debut before a decent effort in a Listed contest at Ascot, was unlucky at Hereford last time when his rider lost an iron when challenging - compensation awaits here. Guiding Stars couldn't cope with Hatcher at Worcester and one of the newcomers may pose more of a threat. That's A Given is a half-brother to two winning bumpers while Sam I is out of a mare from a top French jumping family. Time For Another cost 78,000 euros and is a half-brother to a winning hurdler.
