Elle Rebelle won last year's renewal off a lower mark but arrives out of form. Athenian Garden was placed over 1m2f last time but is still without a win and Tax Reform is preferred having gone close over track and trip in October off a higher mark.

Tasaaboq made the frame in a claimer on the all-weather on his latest start but that was back in November.
