Southwell Race 3 - Bwb Consulting - Women In Engineering Hcp Chase (Gbb Race)
ISLAND BRIDGE (4) is yet to win under rules however gained a point to point success before joining this stable. First time set of cheekpieces are fitted and yard have started the season in great form. Another bold show is expected. GOLAN LOOP (2) was given wind surgery since disappointing at Wincanton during the spring. Better expected here and worth giving another chance. MAY CALL YOU BACK (3) was backed to run well at Fairyhouse in the spring. Intriguing runner on these shores for Willie Mullins. Major player. EXPRESS SURPRISE (5) enjoys tackling fences. Never saw the trip out at Perth and warrants further consideration.
