Race preview

BOTHWELL BRIDGE chased home the highly-regarded pair Boothill and Third Time Lucki in bumpers last season and Nicky Henderson's five-year-old could be suited by a step up in trip on his hurdles debut. Third Time Lucki went onto finish fourth in the Champion Bumper and has created a taking impression over hurdles this term to suggest the form is rock solid. Wilde About Oscar was an impressive winner of a bumper here last season before finishing fourth in a strong-looking Listed contest at Newbury. He made a smooth transition to hurdles when scoring at Uttoxeter last month and has to be considered, while Fraternel beat a small but select cast at Fakenham in February and is foolish to rule out.
