22/1

Hooded first time, improved to win 9-runner novice (11/2) at Chelmsford (7f) in December. Will need to find another chunk of improvement if he's to bridge the significant step up in class here.

Form: 251-

Rebel's Gamble²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 95| BF

9/4

Promising type. Won 6f novices at Southwell and Newcastle in January. Lost unbeaten record but improved again when second of 5 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 26 days ago. Tackles 7f for the first time. Should have more to offer and leading claims.

Form: 112

15/2

Twice-raced winner. 8/11, won 8-runner novice at Wolverhampton (7f) 37 days ago. This demands a good deal more but she's open to further progress for leading connections.

Form: 5-1

(5)

Enola Holmes¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Jack Jones| OR: 78| BF

40/1

Winner of 6f novice at Wolverhampton in February. Just touched off under a penalty there (6f again) since but has something to find on form stepping up in class.

Form: 5-12

(4)

Raneenn¹⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 84

12/1

Raced over 6f on turf last year, winning maiden/novice events. Found out when stepped up to listed class at York on final start in October. Steps up to 7f and switches to AW on reappearance for top yard no stranger to success in this race.

Form: 1316-

Forecasts

Rajeko (13/8), Rebel's Gamble (9/4), Bountiful (5/1), Dance In The Storm (15/2), Raneenn (12/1), Cabelleroso (22/1), Enola Holmes (40/1)

REBEL'S GAMBLE has come a long way in a short time and can take the step up to listed level in his stride now tackling 7f for the first time. Bountiful will be a danger if replicating the form of her Group 2 fourth when last seen in July. Rajeko looks best of the rest.
