A modest contest where REBEL WOMAN, Cruise Control and Croeso Ynol are the three that interest us most although we'll be keeping an eye on Forced Opinion, Summers Target, Macanta and Princess Aliuska. The topweight hails from a yard that has won with both of its runners in the past fortnight and David Probert is an interesting booking as the Dushyantor mare makes her handicap debut for new connections and has to enter calculations with the possibility of improvement being forthcoming. Croeso Ynol is another to have switched yards since last in action and she has shown enough to make her of interest from her current mark with the longer trip likely to suit. Cruise Control is a trifle more exposed but hasn't been beaten far on any of his last three starts and is consequently of interest with cheekpieces added whilst money for any one of Forced Opinion, Summers Target and Macanta would bring them into the equation. Jamie Osborne is enjoying a better season than last and had a winner with a horse making its seasonal return last week; this filly has shown enough to believe that she should be winning races this season over this sort of trip and Rebel Woman is taken to make the perfect return.
