San Frandisco found only one too good on his debut under Rules in a Chepstow bumper but Rehill Relic and ROSSBRIDGE have also won between the flags. The latter, now with Donald McCain, handled heavy going at Loughrea in October so gets the nod. Maggies Boy is a half-brother to the stable’s winning hurdler and chaser Tellhimlisten but may need the experience.
