In depth
Verdict
Charming Fellow, Rebelle and Be Telling are the three to look at here and Charming Fellow is taken to step up on an improved effort last time. Formerly trained by Barney Curley, joint top weight Be Telling is still a maiden, despite several promising efforts. He has been campaigned over the smaller obstacles recently, and although he looks set to be thereabouts, he may be found wanting over this longer trip. Rebelle was off the course for over a year before returning and running three decent races, notably when staying on in good style at the finish at Exeter last time. The trip is also a question mark with him, but he is relatively unexposed and can go well. Charming Fellow ran a terrific race in defeat at Lingfield last time, staying on well but just touched off. He runs off the same mark here and this extra quarter mile can help him. Charming Fellow can lead them home.
