Formscan - An interesting clash between FINGLE BRIDGE and Meetmebythesea, with preference for the former. Olly Murphy's gelding was unbeaten over hurdles, with a Listed success at Exeter the highlight, especially given how the form has worked out. He returned to the same venue for his chasing bow when second to Lulamba before being left alone in a match at Uttoxeter and this appeals as a decent opportunity to continue his progression. Meetmebythesea was also a useful hurdler who scored on his chasing debut at Wetherby, while Big John Wayne looks the pick of the remainder.
