A very tricky opener to the card at Warwick and Over Bridge is selected as much in hope as confidence to get things off to the best possible start. There are dangers aplenty though and Sandywell George, Kingsfold Freddie and She's Our Native are all respected as live dangers. However, Over Bridge finally started to fulfill his potential when comfortably holding Summer Bounty at Hereford last month. The Sue Johnson-trained also five-year-old easily brushed aside the likes of The Parson's Dingle on that occasion and can confidently be expected to at least uphold that form despite being 15lb worse off on the revised terms. The one doubt about the form would be that he barely needed to come off the bridle to score and has a little to prove regarding his resolution in this tougher race. That said, She's Our Native and Sandywell George were both found wanting on that score last time and make limited appeal today. Therefore, Kingsfold Freddie could be the one to give Over Bridge the biggest test if he is ready to go after 224 days off the track.
