Verdict

SHARJA BRIDGE will be a warm order after a narrow defeat on ground with plenty of give at Haydock and is difficult to oppose. Tuscany was having his first start for 10 months at Salisbury last time and should have come on enough to challenge for a place. Kings Will Dream has been running a bit better than his form figures imply and he'll enjoy the conditions while Excellent Story missed the break at Carlisle before making good ground to finish a decent fifth.
