In depth
Verdict
Rebel Raider, Grey Samurai and Fixateur are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the narrow nomination is given to Rebel Raider. The selection was a fair second behind Slick last time out, remains on a fair mark and under similar conditions here looks the one to be on. Grey Samurai rates the main danger on his latest second behind Caulkleys Bank but that was in a seller and this looks more competitive. Fixateur is another that could go well on his latest third bejhind Presenting Alf, but he looks weighted up to his best and will need to improve for first time blinkers to score. Of the remainder Asaateel is from a shrewd in-form yard and should be noted in the market while Mayyas looks in the handicapper's grip and for the winner we return to Rebel Raider.
