HOPHORNBEAM was just beaten in a tight finish at Clonmel in June and can't have been right when beaten 32 lengths at Down Royal a fortnight later. Elusive Rebeldom was tailed off at Punchestown in April but Jamie Codd takes over the reins so better is expected. Lets Get Started hasn't run badly in his last two races and this looks a poor contest in which Andy Oliver's newcomer Bob Pebble is one to note in the market.
