Rebellious Spirit gets the confident call here with Endless Night and Easy Air the pair most likely to chase him home. The selection showed plenty of speed at Wolverhampton last time over 7f when he was narrowly beaten by Silver Chariot. He was caught in the shadows of the post that day so the drop to 6f should suit and with more improvement likely he should take plenty of stopping. Endless Night made a pleasing debut but failed to build on that last time when well-beaten over the minimum trip here. She may have found the 5f a little on the sharp side that day so she should benefit from the extra furlong today and she is not one to write off yet. Easy Air is a well-bred newcomer from the Ed Dunlop yard and with Keiren Fallon booked to ride he is certainly worth noting in the market on his racecourse bow. However, Rebellious Spirit has plenty in his favour today and gets the vote.
