FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Grade 1 winning hurdler TOWER BRIDGE has emerged under the radar as one fo just three maiden chasers here and could be one to win from his initial rating on handicap chase debut. A staying type, he has been ridden from off the pace on his three chase outings today but was an eye-catcher when finishing well behind easy winner, and Arkle Chase fancy, Duc Des Genievres at Gowran in February. He is now tried in first-time cheek-pieces and being a 6yo, can prove progressive enough on his improve on his fourth chase run. Year-younger A Plus Tard beat Duc Des Genievres (who admittedly was having his seasonal return) to win at Naas in December and while beaten at Graded level since, has his chance now on handicap chase debut. Huntsman Son was a winner at Newbury 10 days ago, has progressed well over fences and can figure while Red Indian unseated rider, as 1/5 favourite, on his latest start but had previously filled fourth place in a Grade 1 over Christmas, which was admittedly over a longer trip.
a handicap steeplechase for novice 5-y-o and upwards rated 0-140
