YOUNG REBEL will benefit from a stiffer test but he made an encouraging start for his new connections in a stronger event here 2 months ago and this could be a good opening for him. Baila Conmigo got back on track at Downpatrick and can go well for his in-form yard. Mister Class looks the pick of the newcomers.
