Race preview
ISLAND BRIDGE and Doctor On Call are closely matched on official ratings, while Assertive Walk probably ran to a similar level on his hurdling bow so it would come as no surprise were any of the three to win. The first-named did look ready for a return to three miles when keeping on into second over an extended 2m5f here last month, though, and he shades the verdict with that in mind.
