Verdict
Midnightreferendum and Chief Brody are both previous course winners entitled to respect in this but it might be worth sticking with CARDIGAN BAY (NAP), who made a winning start in handicaps at Southwell and can continue on an upward curve. Forgot To Ask reverted to hurdles at Wincanton with a place but Nigh Or Never continues to flatter to deceive. Wallace Spirit is still a maiden but has had a light campaign and Nicky Henderson seems determined to find a race for the six-year-old.
