Verdict
Probably best to stick with the recent winners in this. Cuisine has a penalty to contend with for last week's narrow margin C&D victory and collateral form has him closely matched with Chepstow winner Majestic Red. Rebel Magic is another C&D winner and she's preferred to stablemate Danz Choice but the vote goes to BRIDGE NIGHT. She scored at Lingfield last month with plenty in hand and, given a couple of subsequent winners have come out of the race, Eve Johnson Houghton's filly looks to have the strongest form.
