Cusheen Bridge is improving fast. He won here in May and a big rise in the weights hasn't prevented him completing a recent double at Huntingdon. Jaja De Jau arrives here with a penalty after last week's Wincanton victory where he looked ideally suited by stepping up to this trip. FINDING YOUR FEET (NAP) overcame an 8lb rise for his Fontwell victory when completing a double at Warwick for which he's been raised another 7lb. Jonjo O'Neill puts up a 10lb claimer so he's still realistically weighted and can complete a hat-trick. Silver Shuffle has some decent form but a total career strike-rate of 1-50 is off-putting. Ready Token put two falls behind him with promising runs in maiden company in the spring and should be winning soon.
