Formscan - C&D winner Iron Bridge has been thereabouts the last twice, including when second over an extended 3m4f here, and he should remain competitive. Bhaloo lurks on an appealing mark and is noted, but HOLD YOUR FORT gets the vote. Debra Hamer's veteran was eased down to score comfortably in this class at Ascot on his latest outing and, if in similar form, he will prove a tough nut to crack.
