Verdict

FINGLE BRIDGE went 3-3 over hurdles last season but has rather struggled with his jumping over fences this term. The switch back to the smaller obstacles seems likely to suit and he gets the verdict over a similar type in Junker d'Allier, who looks on a handy mark based on last season's hurdles form. Believitanducan can complete the placings.
