FAMOUS BRIDGE didn't look all out when accounting for Credo and Eleanor Bob in a C&D handicap on Betfair Chase day and can continue a step ahead of the handicapper. Bill Baxter wasn't disgraced in the ultra-competitive Coral Gold Cup at Newbury at the beginning of the month and might be the one to give the selection most to do.
