      Verdict

      Rebel Army failed to complete in a point-to-point last time but earlier form is solid and the seven-year-old is taken to fulfill earlier promise in this grade against some fairly weak looking opposition with Shraden Edition and Lance Toi looking to be the pick of them. The selection is clearly no world-beater but his form between the flags is better than anything that his rivals can match and the gelding has the undoubted assistance of leading amateur Richard Burton. Treble Trouble was very moderate when last seen under rules and, while he has won a couple of points, this looks tougher. Shraden Edition ran as well as could have been expected behind Bosham Mill when last seen at Cheltenham earlier this month and, on that evidence, looks a bigger threat than Lance Toi, who has been well held in this grade before. Rebel Army is less exposed than his rivals and is taken to outclass them here.
