13/8

Low-mileage filly shaped well when a short-head second of 8 to Midnightattheoasis in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 6 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Enjoys a pull at the weights here so big shout.

Forecasts

Rebel Star (13/8), Buraback (5/2), Midnightattheoasis (5/2), Southbank (7/2), Sir Rodneyredblood (6/1), Wedgewood (12/1), Sir Benedict (16/1)

A competitive sprint but Robert Cowell's lightly-raced 4-y-o REBEL STAR looks the way to go on the back of a promising recent second at Lingfield. Multiple course winner Sir Rodneyredblood heads the list of dangers, although Buraback, Sir Benedict and the red-hot Midnightatheoasis can all have a say too.
