In depth
Verdict
Cannon Bridge gets the confident vote in this hunter chase with Gilzine and Gipsy Girl rating the main dangers. The selection has been in good form this season and although pulled up last time out that could be on account of the ground. The return to this surface should suit and he need only put in a clear round to score. Gilzine rates the main danger as he won a point in good style last time out when beating Beasly but his best form is on a softer surface and for that reason he is opposed. Gipsy Girl is another that could go well as she also won well last time when beating Shared Account but he overall form leaves her with plenty to find. This is a trappy affair and the market will be very informative but for the winner we return to Cannon Bridge who gets the confident vote.
