Guildenstern has had plenty of chances in similar company of late and come up short. He's not certain to confirm recent form at Kempton with Rigid on today's terms. On The Cusp shed his maiden tag at Southwell yesterday and is considered if turning out but Bold Bomber is another who has yet to win a race. A tentative vote, therefore, goes to BRAVE DECISION who finished fourth behind Very Well Red here on his recent reappearance and is less exposed than most of today's rivals.
