Bradbury

T: Edward Bethell

Has his quirks but has won three times in today's headgear combination on turf this season (1m1f-1m2f); not at best at Redcar (1m2f) ten days ago but should be fine back on Tapeta and could plausibly still have untapped potential over 1m4f.

Not straightforward but it hasn't prevented him notching three wins this season, the latest at Hamilton over 1m1f on heavy (has also won on good to firm) 13 days ago; the runner-up went one better at Ayr earlier this week so his mark is likely still workable if he keeps his quirks in check.
