FAMOUS BRIDGE (4.00, NAP) is fancied to come up trumps at Wetherby on Tuesday.
The seven year-old, trained by Nicky Richards, showed his liking for the course over an extended 2m5f earlier this month when he get off the mark over fences at the third time of asking.
Travelling well throughout, he was always in touch with the leaders before finishing strongly after the last under champion jockey Brian Hughes to beat Enzo D’Airy by three lengths.
In 10 races under Rules over hurdles and fences, the son of Fame And Glory has never been out of the first four when completing the course.
And this consistent sort is sure to be thereabouts again in today’s Racing TV Novices’ Handicap Chase, especially as he should be suited by going back up to three miles.
Earlier on the card, HARTUR D’OUDAIRIES (3.25, nb) is the pick in the Mabel and Ted Fountain Memorial Handicap Hurdle over two miles.
The Dan Skelton-trained six-year-old has finished runner-up in both his starts this season, including when only denied by a neck at Warwick last month.
He looks to been found a suitable opening to get off the mark in handicap company for a yard who have a good record on the course.
