This is quite low-grade racing now. With form figures of 2112 from his last four starts, El Bandido Pancho sets a decent standard here. These results were achieved generally at around 2m 4f on soft going. Trainer Ben Clarke comes here following a recent winner. Mask of Zorro had to work very hard to win a low-grade contest last time.

Local trainers Gary and Josh Moore have two runners entered in this handicap hurdle to close Fontwell's card. Bridge had been absent for some 598 days but, back in December 2023, was a 14-length winner over course and distance on soft ground. The 5-year-old, by Golden Horn, ran second of 15 here on his most recent outing in April 2024. The stable knows how to ready one for a return. Freddie Mitchell claims a 5 lb allowance, which is helpful as the horse is allotted 12 stone. Bridge's form gives him decent claims of success.
