No. 4
2.25 Carlisle
1pt win at 10-1 generallyPurcell's Bridge hasn't run particularly well on his two starts so far this season, but he lasted much longer last time, only back-pedaling from the fourth-last, and he should be spot on now.
He returns to a course where he has run some of his best races - including two wins and a close third to Russe Blanc - and now carries the same mark of which he last won at Haydock in March, so there's no doubt he is handicapped to go close.
