In depth
Verdict
One Pursuit finished a disappointing fifth on his recent debut on turf after landing a double on the Fibresand at Southwell earlier this year. Given the rest of the field are hard to win with, the way therefore looks clear for UNKNOWN REBEL to follow up last month's convincing victory at Beverley and he gets the vote. Carrowbeg has tried three different trips in four starts and finished no closer over a mile at Ripon last time, while Nicola's Dream's placed efforts have all been over 7f. Law To Himself has claims on his best form but has yet to show it this year.
