This could revolve around the going as both Beef To The Heels and Flying Light have both shown their best form in heavy conditions. The former has also done better over further while John Queally's charge hasn't been seen for over a year. LAW REBEL progressed nicely in fast ground bumpers last summer and looks the type to do well over timber. He has conditions in his favour and gets the nod though Phoenix Star, another who has done his best running on quick ground in bumpers, should also make a hurdler.
