A very competitive Class 3 hurdle with plenty of unexposed types but the narrow vote goes to the Gardener team and there runner TRANS EXPRESS. Having had the form franked of his last win, he gives the impression he's well handicapped and may be able to get the better of these off bottom weight. Bradford Bridge is one with a similar profile and their stables in flying form. Above Board is likely to be of warm order and scored with a little more than his winning margin suggested last time out.
1. Trans Express
2. Bradford Bridge
