MYTHE BRIDGE was much improved when switched to fences on his last 2 starts last season and can go one better back down in class on return. Special John and Move With The Beat can both do better starting out for new yards and they head the dangers.

Verdict
Sizeable gelding who has predictably stepped up on what he showed in a handful of runs over hurdles since switched to the larger obstacles, finishing runner-up in handicap chases at Market Rasen and Chepstow earlier this year. Needs considering down in class on return.

Showed some promise over hurdles. Let down by jumping both starts switched to fences last season for Emma Lavelle but this prolific point winner (including Apr 2025) is worth another chance.

A fair 3m2f winner over hurdles but he failed to build on chasing debut promise when well held at Leicester/Fontwell. Needs to bounce back on return.

Winning pointer and runner-up on all 3 handicap outings over hurdles, including at Stratford in May. Should make a chaser and has since joined a yard going great guns.

Poor hurdler but produced a career best to win at Ffos Las in April. However, made an unpromising start to her career over fences at Fontwell on return.

Dual winning Irish pointer but she has offered nothing in 4 starts under Rules. Significantly more is required now going chasing from out of the handicap.
