Verdict

Rebel Rebel makes a quick reappearance after his easy midweek victory and is taken to follow up at the expense of Goodwood Spirit, Diamonds And Dust and Easy Mover. Neville Callaghan's juvenile attracted plenty of support at Lingfield on Wednesday due to his earlier success at Yarmouth, and he did not disappoint as Oscar Urbina enjoyed something of an armchair ride. In his current mood, Rebel Rebel should take some stopping and can account for a useful field today. Goodwood Spirit had been knocking on the door before coming good at Epsom with a hard-fought win over Wingspeed. They were clear of the third so the form is probably not bad. Diamonds And Dust is another that has hit form at the right time, making all at York. Those tactics serve him best but he will not have things his own way in this company. Easy Mover has a decent weight so cannot be ruled out of calculations, while Persian Rock's stable is back in form now. They appear to be the main players then, and the best of them can be Rebel Rebel.
