Raffles Rebel is still looking for a first success though finished ahead of King Athelstan when second at Wolverhampton a week ago. But MISS SLIGO has a decent strike rate on the all-weather and having placed at Chelmsford on her first start since October, she gets the vote having beaten Visitant over course and distance early last year. The latter posted a better effort at Newcastle recently while Sicario came up short once again when placed at Kempton.
