Formscan - All of these have claims, but marginal preference is for IRON BRIDGE. The 10-year-old was only beaten a neck into second on his seasonal return at Carlisle in November and first-time cheekpieces may help him to defy a 1lb rise here. Last month's Exeter winner Isaac Des Obeaux is an obvious threat to the selection, while the second from that contest Operation Manna is another with strong claims.
