Rebel Star³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: George Downing| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 58

4/1

Stepped up markedly on debut when second of 4 at Lingfield in November. 13/2, shade disappointing when third of 12 in maiden at Southwell (5f) 31 days ago but she's a major player at this level.

Form: 523-

Forecasts

Rosenpur (11/8), Forest Gunner (11/4), Rebel Star (4/1), Francisco (9/2), Crowd Quake (28/1)

REBEL STAR receives 5 lb from her rivals and in the hope she can cast aside a lesser run at Southwell a month ago, this looks a good opportunity for her. Rosenpur and Francisco are the viable threats.
