Formscan - Bothwell Bridge ran a lot better on his return to hurdles when fifth in a competitive handicap at Sandown and he is entitled to build on that performance, especially with his rider's 10lb claim to aid his cause. The vote, though, goes to EMITOM, who has been given a chance by the handicapper and a change of scenery might aid the Grade 2 winner's cause. Hurricane Harvey and Up The Straight appeal most of the remainder.
