At Mangan Bridge

Stuart Edmunds trains the horse at his Stewkley yard in Buckinghamshire, a stable that has already sent out 26 winners this season. At Mangan Bridge has competed exclusively at Class 4 level, where it has won both its races at that standard. The recent form reads 1-1-5-3, meaning it won its last two races before the break, finished fifth once, and rounded out its record with a third-place finish. That fifth is the only blemish on an otherwise impressive record. Coming back after a lengthy absence is always a risk—horses can lose sharpness—but At Mangan Bridge's win rate of roughly one in every two races suggests it has the talent to pick up where it left off. The real question is whether the five-month break has changed that equation. If it returns to form, a horse with a 50% record at its level will not be out of the picture for long.
