In depth

Verdict

Elle Rebelle scored over track and trip last month but could only manage fourth back here last time behind Hawk Moth and runner-up ABIGAILS ANGEL. There's little between them on that form but Richard Hughes takes over on the latter and she gets the nod on that basis. Patience has ran out with Byrd In Hand, who found one too good yet again at this track last week, while China In My Hands never looked like justifying favouritism at Hamilton on her latest outing.
