Selection

Selection Selected At

Rickety Bridge

Selected at: 5/4

Rickety Bridge looked potentially useful when winning his maiden hurdle well but has failed to reach the same level since. He appreciated the step up in trip when second in a Pertemps qualifier last time out and winning at this level shouldn’t be beyond him.
