IRON BRIDGE (2.35 Wetherby, nap)
He jumped really well when winning a match at Haydock and was equally as impressive at Carlisle three runs ago. He stays strongly and will enjoy this cut in the ground.
SPANISH ANGEL (7.00 Newcastle, nb)
He was less than a length off the pace at Wolverhampton last week. He is handicapped for another big run.

He has run well on both hurdles runs for the Skeltons and looks much stronger than today’s rivals.
