BRIDEZILLA showed plenty of promise when runner-up at this course on hurdles debut, closing strongly despite losing momentum at the last. She could improve for the slightly longer trip and is taken to get off the mark. Wackestone looks a very interesting hurdle debutant in this company given his Flat form and he's feared most ahead of Gforcejenny who showed ability on the Flat and may do better now hurdling for her excellent yard.
