Took a step forward from his debut when winning second time out over 5f at Pontefract quickening well and winning at 33/1. Well drawn on that occasion and made use of his experience with the form having been franked by the win of the third but does have to give weight all round here.

Pedigree makes plenty of appeal on paper and he was well supported on his debut at York behind a useful sort in Santry and the second has franked the form with an easy win at Catterick. Should have learnt plenty from that outing and better should be expected of him here.

Improved from first to second run but has known his job both times travelling well. Form of his second start at Hamilton is relatively untested but an interesting contender here.

The most experienced of these in terms of visits to the course he shown some fair form but was well held last time out in the race at York won by Santry and has work to do with It Don't Come Easy.

2/5
Ran out an easy winner on her debut by 8L quickening clear in fine style at Catterick to win impressively. Should have improvement left in her and although the bare form isn't that good she was visually very impressive.
Remains open to improvement but does have plenty to find with all of these based on her two runs so far. Very much paid the price for trying to go with Rebel Assault last time out and work to do with that one here and a few of the others.

Forecasts

Rebel Assault (2/5), It Dont Come Easy (7/2), Marnie James (12/1), Rocket Man Dan (20/1), Brandy Station (28/1), Angel Force (50/1)

Verdict

Good quality two-year-old race with REBEL ASSAULT setting the standard despite her win coming in a relatively modest contest at Catterick. She does have some decent rivals in opposition though with It Don’t Come Easy (expected to improve for his York run), Marnie James and Brandy Station expected to mount a challenge.
  1. Rebel Assault
  2. It Dont Come Easy
  3. Marnie James
