Listed novices hurdle winner FINGLE BRIDGE (1) showed plenty of promise on first chase attempt three weeks ago when 10L runner-up contesting a 3400m beginners chase at Exeter. The winner that day has followed up among G1 company on Saturday while the third won a G2 on Friday. Looks hard to beat. The biggest challenger could be chasing newcomer PHANTOMOFTHEPOINTS (3) who enjoys soft going and started the new season with a solid 4L third tackling a 4800m premier handicap hurdle at Haydock seventeen days back. Holds ability to go well. Makes appeal. LARGY BELTER (2) was last of five behind the top pick at Exeter. Might fill third spot.
