This looks a potential walkover for GREENBRIDGE who is taken to see off his two rivals with little bother. Alan King's gelding is rated 132 following on from a win here last time. That was over slightly shorter but he shaped last time as if it would be no problem and is taken to extend his winning streak to two. He hasn't always looked the most willing but this is a good bit of placement and he can carry his penalty to victory. Any danger (apart from the fences) may come from Personal Column. Tor Sturgis' gelding has over 30 lengths to find on the selection on their last clash but at least this decent hurdler is unexposed over fences and is open to some improvement; with ¿1850 on offer for second place this looks like being a good day at the races regardless. Lethal Gun has failed to complete on 8 of his 9 starts including between the flags. He is unlikely to beat his starting price of 250/1 last time but he might as well be that price. A poor turnout but a good opportunity for Greenbridge to win again.
