Cullingworth and Mailshot have both failed to figure since winning at Redcar and Pontefract respectively back in April. REBEL DE LOPE gets weight from both so this looks a good -chance for Charlie Hills’ colt given he was beaten only a length at Goodwood on his recent debut - that looks stronger form than La Haule Lady’s third at Wetherby. Miss Infinity was still beaten a long way when placed at Haydock and Smokey Lane is preferred to Oceanic of the newcomers.
