Rebel Assault²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 93| BF| D

1/3

Romped home by 8L on debut at Catterick last month and bettered that with a head defeat at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) in a similar race to this next time. Not on top form, perhaps on account of the good to soft ground, at Beverley last time, but may be able to continue her progress back on a sound surface and should be very competitive.

Form: 124

Tonkolili¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: K Shoemark| T: W R Muir

9/4

Outran her 20-1 SP when beaten just ½L by Lynn's Memory on debut at Bath (5f, firm) earlier in the month. On that evidence, she probably has more scope for improvement than her reopposing rival and it will be very interesting to see if she can prove that.

Forecasts

Rebel Assault (1/3), Out Of The Flames (8/11), Tonkolili (9/4), Lynn's Memory (8/1), Three Little Birds (16/1)

Rebel Assault and OUT OF THE FLAMES look to be the pair that will be battling for the number one spot here and Richard Hannon's filly is just preferred after an excellent effort in Group company last time. That is not to dismiss Mark Johnston's runner lightly, though of the pair she arguably just has a bit to prove after her Beverley run. Tonkolili made a nice debut and may be able to reverse placings with Lynn's Memory for the minors here.
