RAFFLES REBEL wasn't seen to best effect when third on his handicap debut at Lingfield early last month and, with that form working out well, he looks the one to beat now taking on his elders for the first time. Inner Circle looked an unlucky loser at Brighton recently so is an obvious threat, while Cliffs of Freedom is one to watch in the betting now setting out for a shrewd new yard.
