WEST TO THE BRIDGE (1) returns after two months in the paddock. Kicked off the last prep with a solid third in a 3500m hurdle at Fontwell Park, beaten 22 lengths. Leading contender - bold showing expected. EL GRANJERO (3) filled a minor prize two back in a hurdle (4000m) at Uttoxeter then again ran a good race to finish second last time out, beaten one length, in a steeplechase (4520m) at Stratford-On-Avon. Must be a chance again. NINTH LOCH (6) is a useful jumper who was unplaced in a hurdle (4100m) at Newbury two starts ago. Made amends and saluted by 4.5 lengths in a hurdle (3200m) at Chepstow most recently. Hard to fault on that most recent effort. KADO DE JOIE (7) resumed after a spell last start with a strong third in a hurdle (4200m) at Ludlow. Capable of another forward showing.
