Formscan - CAVE BRIDGE's jumping was far more polished when following up his Carlisle victory at Wetherby a year ago and he enters handicaps off what looks a workable mark. Dangers are aplenty, spearheaded by last month's Chepstow winner Treasure Planet, who is entitled to strip fitter for that seasonal return. Colegram is intriguing dropping back markedly in distance and it is too soon to be writing her off, while King William Rufus is racing off his last winning rating.
