On The Bridge looking strong in Totepool Mobile Text Tote To 89660 Novices´ Handicap Chase at Worcester
On The Bridge has been performing surprisingly well since joining Jeremy Scott’s yard. After three classy acts in the hands of Nick Scholfield, the 7-year-old is pumped, and will be the one to beat in the Totepool Mobile Text Tote To 89660 Novices´ Handicap
Chase at Worcester on Tuesday, September 11, 2012.
Under the care of Linda Blackford, the son of Milan suffered a few awful defeats at the start of this season. But things suddenly changed, when he joined the current connections. He registered his first win of the season in mid August, when showing a fabulous
effort in the Yeomans Honda Handicap Hurdle at Fontwell.
Despite not getting the quickest of start, he remained steady in the middle stages. With the help of an outstanding effort, he led in the final moments, and eventually seized the first rank by four lengths.
Owned by Kit James, On The Bridge recorded another fine victory at the end of last month. The spectators at Newton Abbot saw him getting the better of Call Me Sir by 2¾ lengths in the Racehorse Owners Association Handicap Hurdle.
He was in a great position to strike first hat-trick of his career, but Call Me Sir dished out revenge in the Bet On Live Cricket At totepool.com Handicap Hurdle in the beginning of this month. Although On The Bridge ran superbly in the final stages, he
was unable to reach the winner, and missed the top rank by a length’s distance.
Despite an unlucky loss last time, no can question On The Bridge’s momentum. After winning twice over hurdles recently, he is off a lower mark now, and makes plenty of appeal in today’s big meeting.
The class 4 contest is scheduled to begin at 15:10 GMT. The going is good for the 2m4f event, which carries a cash prize worth £2,599.
This trip is likely to suit Citrus Mark, but a 13lb rise might be a concern. Similarly, Shan Blue is carrying 8lb more. Both runners have a lot to offer, but it is hard to expect them to outclass On The Bridge, who is looking very powerful these days. Good
luck to all the horses.
