The Quiet Rebel¹⁵¹

Weight: 9-2| Age: 3

T: A Keatley J: S H James

Forecasts

Atiyah (13/8), Cuban Breeze (3/1), Rockett Man (6/1), Red Walls (9/1), The Quiet Rebel (10/1), Brazen Belle (11/1), Hotalena (11/1), Roman Encounter (20/1), Donny Marlow (25/1)

CUBAN BREEZE went with plenty of zest in a slightly better race than this over 6f at Chester and this previous winner here looks well weighted returned to the minimum trip. Hotalena is uncomplicated and in top form, while Atiyah can remain competitive.
