Verdict

Sue Smith's REBEL SWING has shown improved form with each start over hurdles, latterly when upped in trip at Southwell just over two weeks ago and he can defy the 7lb rise for that win with the main danger rated as Auberge. Dianne Sayer's mare ran her best race for some time when chasing home Winged Farasi at Sedgefield last week and she has every chance racing off the same mark today. Clueless was well beaten here last time and looks best watched with a bigger threat likely to come from Follow On, who should appreciate the return to hurdles after a couple of unproductive runs on the flat. Make It Blossom and Mulligan's Pride are others to consider but Rebel Swing looks the one to beat.
