Verdict

Several with claims in an open affair including Kilconny Bridge, who makes his handicap bow fitted with a first-time tongue-tie having landed the odds in a maiden at Exeter by a wide-margin. Jamessaintpatrick scored in this grade at Warwick in December while The Raven's Return was placed at the same track more recently and won a maiden over course and distance last year. Twenty Twenty would have a chance if taking part though was due to run at Kempton yesterday and OSTUNI is preferred. Pulled-up on a recent reappearance once his chance had gone, Paul Nicholls’ charge won last year’s renewal in good style and another bold bid is expected.
