Everything looks right for Brid

BRIDLINGTONBYGONES can exploit a lenient-looking mark in the Racing UK Handicap Hurdle at Musselburgh today. The Karen McLintock-trained six-year-old is winless from six previous tries over hurdles, but has shown enough promise to warrant support in Scotland.

Perhaps crucially, he must surely have enough ammunition to be competitive off just 110. Bridlingtonbygones made a perfect racecourse debut two years ago when successful at this track in what turned out to be a fair bumper.

His novice year over hurdles also served notice of his worth, especially when his two second-placed finishes at Sedgefield, where he chased home the smart duo of Scriptwriter and Pure Faith, are factored into the equation.
