Rebel Dawn Rising has rattled up a hat-trick between the flags but finished tailed off in this last year. SIXTEEN LETTERS has also been in good form in point-to-points and beat a rival at Larkhill last month who is rated 140 under Rules. Josh Newman can steer him to victory ahead of Benefaktor, who was second in a maiden hunter chase at Cartmel last May when last racing under Rules.
